I generally try to base on a stable tag/commit, so I'd prefer to avoid
rebasing the development branch until rc1 if possible. I've pushed out a
new arm64-fiq-mainline-20210222 tag rebased atop torvalds/master:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mark/linux.git arm64-fiq-mainline-20210222
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mark/linux.git/tag/?h=arm64-fiq-mainline-20210222

... leaving the main branch atop v5.11. Is that good enough for now? If
that's painful for development I can shuffle the main branch along too.

Thanks,
Mark.
