Hi,

I'm almost there to make the main PR for 6.15 from what's in for-next 
currently, so no, this won't be part of it.

In general, I don't usually take large series after -rc6 timeframe to give 
time for things to settle and problems to be brought to surface.
Especially if the series is interfacing with other subsystems which is 
prone to lack of select/depends on clauses, etc. so more likely to break 
the build than changes that seem immune to the .config variations.
