Then it shouldn't be in -next.  -next is a tree for integration testing
and conflict discovery for the upcoming merge window, and should only
contain code targetted at that merge window.  Here's a reminder of
sfr's boilerplate which lays this out:

  Thanks for adding your subsystem tree as a participant of linux-next.  As
  you may know, this is not a judgment of your code.  The purpose of
  linux-next is for integration testing and to lower the impact of
  conflicts between subsystems in the next merge window.

  You will need to ensure that the patches/commits in your tree/series have
  been:
     * submitted under GPL v2 (or later) and include the Contributor's
        Signed-off-by,
     * posted to the relevant mailing list,
     * reviewed by you (or another maintainer of your subsystem tree),
     * successfully unit tested, and
     * destined for the current or next Linux merge window.

It seems it doesn't satisfy the last point there.
