Hmm... I generally wait for arch patches to be applied first, before
sending driver patches. If you're willing to do that, I suggest that
Arnd/Olof should put those patches on a separate topic branch, and
sending an upstream pull request for them after mine.

If the patches are trivial, maybe the better would be to put both
media and arm patches at the same tree, with the other maintainers'
ack.

I use a tree at Kernel.org for Linus submission. I only pull the patches
there when I'm about to ask him to pull, and after being sure that those
patches were already successfully merged at -next tree for some time.
So, you should not base your tree there, as it will have there only the 
patches that I already submitted.
