Hrm, OK.  These merges are all merges up of bug fixes for -rc from my
own tree into the development code which I tend to do constantly to make
it easier to work directly on the development branch.  What's the best
practice here - push things to you a bit more aggressively and wait
until you've tagged a -rc and then merge that back up into the
development branch?

The -next branch is the branch used for development here unless there's
anything that's actually a topic that might want to get viewed
separately (like the device tree stuff this time), and all the merges
are from my own trees.  The reason they showed up as merges from remotes
is an oddity of my workflow here.
