I don't know Linus' release plan but after reading his -rc7 announcement
from last weekend and looking what happend in his tree since then, I
wouldn't be surprised if he cuts v5.13 this weekend. Even for small
fixes and cleanups I'd prefer to have them in next before the merge
window opens.

Also if you find an issue for a patch, it's quite demotivating to get
feedback when the merge window is already about to open because it's too
late then to discuss and rework. The devm_pwmchip_add patch is about to
miss its second merge window already ... :-\

Best regards
Uwe
