If you plan to test SCPI(which is enabled in defconfig), then you need
all the patches in the branch[1]. I will tag once I get a build success
from kbuild robot and I do some testing. In short, immutable tag = PR
tag IMO. The only thing I can drop from the list is DT bindings patch.

Let me know if you are fine using the same tag ? Or you can propose any
other alternative, I am fine by that too.
