I understand the concern and agree that posting dependent work before 
the prerequisite series has been fully reviewed and cleared for merging 
is not ideal. The reason these series were posted at this stage was due 
to internal planning requirements and the need to keep work on other 
dependent platforms moving in parallel. The early review is aim to 
avoiding blocking them too much. That's a dilemma that I was asked to 
handle it in this way.

However, I understand that this can create additional review overhead 
and confusion regarding the status of the prerequisite work. Will 
transfer your concern internally to try to avoid other colleagues 
posting more series that has much long chain dependencies.

Apologies for the inconvenience, and thanks for the feedback.

Best regards,
Hangxiang
