A simpler solution for this case would be to issue two PRs to Linus from two
different branches. Other subsystems send topic branches, so this isn't out of
the ordinary.

I have merged the two patches in question from Hans and Steffen to for-next-2.

We could send two PRs back to back, with a note to Linus why this is a bit
different than usual, and then come back together in our for-next and fixes
branches once both are merged and continue as usual.

Any concerns with this approach?
