To be specific, I have dropped the following commits from the queues
now, which was more than just these three that you asked:

602837e8479d ("mptcp: allow changing the "backup" bit by endpoint id")
59060a47ca50 ("mptcp: clean up harmless false expressions")
86e39e04482b ("mptcp: keep track of local endpoint still available for each msk")
8e9eacad7ec7 ("mptcp: fix msk traversal in mptcp_nl_cmd_set_flags()")
a4c0214fbee9 ("mptcp: fix removing ids bitmap setting")
9846921dba49 ("selftests: mptcp: fix ipv6 routing setup")

If you want them back, please let us know.

thanks,
