That's the plan, yes.
We aim to mimic what arm64 does by taking turn in maintaining the tree
for a given kernel version (initial drop + fixes), unless something
crops up. This means that while I'm dealing with fixes for 6.4, Oliver
can queue 6.5 material in parallel.
Which is why you have seen a late 6.3 PR for fixes and a 6.4 PR for
new feature basically at the same time.
