However, according to the cover letter, there are no build dependencies
between these patches and the driver-related patch. Furthermore, since
it introduces a new compatible string, even if the driver part is not
yet merged, we won’t experience any regression. Therefore, I believe it
is safe to merge these two patches unless you have any concerns about
them.
