If there is a functional dependency you'll need to send the net changes
first and then wait until the trees are merged before sending net-next
changes. Merge usually happens Thursday afternoon (pacific). You can
post the net-next changes as RFC before the trees get merged to make
sure they are reviewed and ready to go in.
