If you want to go the route for me rebasing my tree on top of for-mfd-next
then I'd like to have at least a stable tag, so that it will be easier to
provide the pull-request later on. Would that be a compromise?

I don't usually provide immutable branches/tags unless I'm sharing
topic branches for other maintainers to pick-up, in order to avoid
merge conflicts.

I think that's what Matthias is planning to do though. If he wants
to send me a Mediatek specific branch for the soc tree, it needs to
be based on a stable commit in the mtd tree to avoid duplicating
the commit.


Exactly, I'm the maintainer of MediaTek SoCs and I would need to pull this patch into my tree to be able to accept the series I mentioned [1]. Can you provide me a stable tag/branch, against just that patch or against your whole tree?

Matthias
