Just mentioning it would be appreciated to avoid surprises.
The other part would be to make sure the fixes branch is based on an
old enough release that we can just merge it into next/dt64 without
bringing in a much newer upstream base. You've done that in this case,
so what I'll do at our end is merge the fixes into next/dt64 to avoid
this from bubbling up to Linus when it's a local issue to our tree.
Thanks!
