FWIW, I usually just use Bjron's for-next branch for stuff like this.
While the merge commits in the the Qualcomm "for-next" branch are
re-created every time, because of the way "git" works the git hashes
of the actual patches are the same as the git hashes of the patches in
the separate branches. All the patches in "for-next" should be ones
that are fine to base your patches on.
