So you have a couple of options:

1) It sounds like you should get the QUP changes merged first. Then
   submit the i2c,serial changes. Is there a reason you cannot do
   this? Is there a mutual dependency between these two series, or
   just a one way dependency?

2) Explain in the commit message that following errors are expected
   because ... And explain in detail why the dependency cannot be
   broken to avoid the errors.
