I appreciate that you probably have a bunch of code building on top of
the series that's in linux-next, but sending it out at the moment is
hugely confusing -- particularly when this is targetting an independent
tree. If you have patches for 4.2, please can you wait until after the
merge window before posting for review?

Right now most maintainers are probably trying to stabilise their current
queues, so the most helpful thing you can do is test linux-next and send
fixes for any issues you find there.

It doesn't help that the series you posted seems to include two patch
series (n/7 and n/2).
