Question about ntfs3 git pull request

Hello, Stephen, Linus!
I have a question about next git pull request.
After first ntfs3 pull request [1] was accepted
there are some new commits, that I want to send for rc5 probably
(need more tests + some time in linux-next).
I've noticed, that I missed step
"If your upstream-bound branch has emptied entirely into the mainline
during the merge window, you can pull it forward with a command like"
from Kernel Maintainer Handbook [2].
Right now my github repo still based on 5.14-rc7.
Do I need to update it with git merge up to 5.15-rcX?
Or will it be ok to send git pull request as is and
back merge master only when 5.15 will release?
