No, it shouldn't. sunxi-next is about patches that are related to
sunxi that have been accepted in their respective maintainers'
branches.

While we could argue about the first criteria, the second one is not

And really, just develop against 4.14. sunxi-next is rebased, and it's
just not something you can base some work on.
