We haven't done that as Stephen prefers that there are no "next-next"
patches in linux-next during the merge window and we don't want to stop
the development for two weeks.

But this is not the first time we get duplicate fixes due to the first
fix not being in linux-next, so we should fix this. I guess we could do
a similar for-next branch trick like we have in wireless-next? I'll talk
with Jeff and we'll see what we can do.
