NAK: [SRU][F:linux-bluefield][PATCH v1 0/1] UBUNTU: SAUCE: Sync up mlxbf-gige with upstreamed version

[Tim Gardner]

I think the best way to do this is to revert all 20 of the 
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlxbf_gige SAUCE patches, then you should 
be able to cherry-pick f92e1869d74e1acc6551256eb084a1c14a054e19 ("Add 
Mellanox BlueField Gigabit Ethernet driver"). That will preserve the 
provenance of the patch and make it clear it came from upstream.

Your next submission should also be a pull request given the number of 
patches.
