Pulled. However:

 mode change 100755 => 100644 tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/eeh/eeh-functions.sh
 create mode 100755 tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/eeh/eeh-vf-aware.sh
 create mode 100755 tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/eeh/eeh-vf-unaware.sh

Somebody is being confused.

Why create two new shell scripts with the proper executable bit, and
then remove the executable bit from an existing one?

That just seems very inconsistent.

eeh-function.sh just provides some helper functions for the other
scripts and doesn't do anything when executed directly. I thought
making it non-executable made sense.
