The problem is that you don't merge or cherry-pick fixes into your
for-next branch and they are getting diverged.

In PDx86 subsystem we decided to cherry-pick the fixes into for-next.
Some other subsystems are doing back-merges (but I remember that Linus
T. complained about back merges, although I dunno if it's still
the case). Some subsystems merges their fixes into for-next, dunno
if it's the best practice either.

That said, this can be submitted after v6.2-rc1 is out.
