The simple answer about updating to net-next frequently: it's
complicated :)

The long answer is that the guidance from Linus is to avoid making
unnecessary merges so we fast forward wireless-next only after it's
pulled to net-next. And we can't rebase wireless-next due to downstream
trees Ping's rtw tree, besides rebasing public git trees is evil anyway.
