Also agree.  Squashing simple changes (test case improvements, spelling
fixes and so on) is fine but for everything else I would prefer new commits.

There can be one larger rebase/squash effort once its decided that a
netdev rfc submission is to be made.

Until then, constant rebasing is just a waste of time imo.

New commits-on-top would make it easier to track development too.
