Yes. I just noticed that the merge commit is lost :

After rebase :

Alexey's commit appears in the list with only his SoB and we loose :

    Merge tag 'qemu-slof-20211112' of github.com:aik/qemu into ppc-7.0

    * tag 'qemu-slof-20211112' of github.com:aik/qemu:
      pseries: Update SLOF firmware image

    Signed-off-by: Cédric Le Goater <clg@kaod.org>

which I find interesting to identify where the SLOF blob is coming from.


Thanks,
