Sorry, when I read "merged" I consider that contents out of my hands -
and for 4.13 Linus complained about our elaborate drivers->soc merge.

Also I'm five weeks out of the office this merge window and it's been as
surprising as Christmas to see an -rc7 tagged already. ;)

Well, that didn't quite apply here, branches based on v4.14-rc1 vs.
v4.13-rc1 would cause merge conflicts. When based on the same tag, sure.

Understood. I've updated for-next and sent out 4.15 pulls for Actions
(and Realtek) as good as I could from my hotel. If they don't make
v4.15-rc1 I'll rebase them and send immediate 4.16 pulls, with any
regular 4.16 contents going into a second round then.

I've tried to avoid sending you single-patch pulls, but on the other
hand waiting for the full patches to finish review for inclusion has not
been working well either.

Regards,
Andreas
