You shouldn't really need to rebase your branch very often anyway.
This is really for special cases. But even then you can always use:
`git rebase --rebase-merges` to keep the merge commits.

The commands you want to run are:

git pull git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brgl/linux.git
tags/pwrseq-initial-for-v6.11
git am or b4 shazam on the patches targeting the Bluetooth subsystem
git push

That's really it, there's not much else to it.
