This was discussed already, but in case you didn't follow if we need
to incorporate changes earlier we can't really wait the merge window
for the changes to be merged first into the Linus tree. Anyway Bartosz
is the maintainer of Power Sequence subsystem, and several others
drivers, so I think it is safe to trust his judgment here.
