I don't think it will; I've given people notice of potential changes
back in February, and as Florian has pointed out, that's ample enough
time that it's now no problem if I push my series and it causes
breakage to drivers that haven't updated.  I've also gone way beyond
what would normally be done, fixing up almost every driver the best
I can with the exception of two - felix DSA and Mediatek.

Some of the patches have been reviewed already, Ioana at NXP is happy
with them.  There's a bit of tweaking of a couple of patches and
adding some documentation, and then they're good to go.

I'm not going to wait for Felix or Mediatek.  As I say, I've given
plenty of warning, and it's only a _suspicion_ of breakage on my
side.
