I share the same concern here.

David,

Could you *not* apply DTS patches in the future?  People often include
driver changes and corresponding DTS ones in a single series to ease
cross reviewing and testing.  If picking selected patches from a series
could a problem for your applying robot, we should probably start asking
people to split change-sets.
