I really wish people would push stuff into arm-soc more aggressively,
and I certainly didn't want to give the impression that maintainers
should let their stuff sit in linux-next before sending it to us.

It's absolutely fine to send multiple updates per branch for arm-soc
as stuff comes in, as long as we can keep track of the dependencies
and we don't have to rebase the stuff that's already merged.

I would also prefer if people stopped having their own trees included
in next, but I know that I'm sometimes slow to pick up patches that
were submitted to arm-soc and that it helps people if they can get
earlier integration testing that way. Hopefully we're also getting
better at dealing with pull requests quickly so that there is no
need for the other tree in linux-next any more.
