Yes, that is usually how it works! The revert patch will be picked up by
the maintainer (Maxime), integrated in his tree and eventually merged
into Linus' tree (along with stable trees).

Fixup patches for this will need to take into account the revert patch,
so it becomes equivalent to submitting the same patch with that issue
resolved.
