For new features/drivers/platforms that is definitely the case: Merge
code through the suitable tree and it'll come together when the code
is all merged.

For a cleanup it's a bit different, since you shouldn't regress and
break existing support on the individual branches. I.e. it's OK to not
make things work for the first time until all comes together, but
things that is already working shouldn't break.
