Yeah after -rc6 drm is frozen for features, so anything that's stuck
in subordinate trees rolls over to the next merge cycle. To avoid
upsetting sfr from linux-next we keep those -next branches out of
linux-next until after -rc1 again. iow, rebasing onto linux-next and
smashing this into 5.10 sounds like the right approach (since everyone
else freezes a bunch later afaik).
