** Description changed: [Impact] There's no functional impact, this is just an attempt to reconcile the Ubuntu tree with upstream. - We are currently carrying 61 SAUCE patches for the hns3 driver. All but 8 of these have gone upstream in some form. However, some of the patches have changed in non-functional ways (whitespace, comments, commit messages, etc). This will likely prevent future patches from cherry-picking cleanly and, in the case of commit messages, obfuscate which fixes we already have. + We are currently carrying 61 SAUCE patches for the hns3 driver.

This will likely prevent future patches from cherry-picking cleanly and, in the case of commit messages, obfuscate which fixes we already have. [Test Case] 1) git diff, to make sure delta after includes only non-functional changes. 2) Functional smoke test on D06 hardware. [Fix] Revert all the SAUCE patches that have countparts upstream, and apply the upstream cherry-picks instead. [Regression Risk] The git diff from before and after this series clearly shows only cosmetic changes.
