I understand. But this series is somewhat special, if you also take
the follow-up series into account:

"[PATCH v4 resend 00/13] MFD/extcon/ASoC: Rework arizona codec jack-detect support"

That again has some MFD bits, and some extcon patches and ASoC patches
which depend on the extcon bits and this series.

So it is really hard to merge all the bits through there separate trees
and just merging it all through one tree and then pulling in the end-result
as a shared branch would IMHO be easier.

In the follow-up series one of the patches is moving the jackdet code from the
extcon dir to sound/asoc/codecs. So that is a single commit touching 2 trees ...
