1) It was in next
2) My tree is clean, review and bindings are tested
3) My PR is a minor PR, low priority change, low impact, no risk

There's still people sending commits to Linux which didn't even go to the lists,
so it's irrelevant to apply this vague rule to me in a strict way with not reasoning.

No, I'm surprised because there's still a lot of subsystems not in -next
and I've always made sure my tree were in next before sending PRs, were
building properly with no warning and bindings checked.
