+1

If the trees are more closely related (e.g. drm and v4l or so) then
occasionally we just merge patches into one tree with acks from all the
other maintainers. But topic branch for the common bits feels better here.

Please send the topic pull request to drm-misc maintainers (Maarten,
Maxime, Thomas) so they can pull it in.
