It is, but what it means is that I'll keep my copy of the patches in my
tree rather than pulling your tree.  Having branches spread on different
start points makes it difficult to generate a patch series from the git
tree - which is something I continue to do for the SolidRun iMX6 platforms
(publishing it as separate patches, tarball of those patches and a combined
patch.)

As I say, it doesn't matter that much, I can just keep my copies of the
patches, and when this stuff gets rebased to 4.2-rc1, git rebase should
eliminate them automatically.
