Yep, this is how we do it.  The only caveat is if there are going to be
changes during this window that depend on the driver changes in this
series.  Then we would ask to set up a topic branch.

That happens a little more frequently now that we have boards in the
boot farm testing linux-next and other trees.  It means we also care
about boot-time dependencies as well as build deps.

I'll take a closer look at this series in the next few days and let you
know.

thx,

Jason.
