These merge commits look ugly and Linus wants them minimized.

Hmm, right, I don't get why this looks uglier for Linus than a merge of
a tree that bases on something you already have.  I guess you're too
annoyed by now to explain why you think it does.

What's so hard to understand about the fact that when I pull from
someone I do not want any commits unrelated to the work that person
is sending me?

Either you follow the rules and my expectations, which is that when you
give me a GIT tree to pull from it's based upon one of my trees, or
I don't pull from you.

So I rebased my tree on something older.  It now starts at

	c69b909 (pch_can: fix module reload issue with MSI)

which is already in net-next/master.

You need to send a new pull request so that it gets properly tracked
in patchwork.
