That's correct.
I have a for-next-merge branch where I usually have the merge conflicts with
Linus tree fixed, in case you're interested.

I got a pull request from Benoit a couple days before the merge window opened.
Then I realized part of the pull request contained a merge of one of Grant's
branch. So I wanted to wait for Grant's code to get in before picking the mfd
work on top of it. I didn't want to send a pull request to Linus with a merge
point for something that would have been already merged. Maybe I was wrong,
you tell me.

Cheers,
Samuel.
