Mark, Lee, how would you like this to be merged ? I have a large patch
series targetting v6.18 that depends on 1/4, and I would like to merge
it in the media tree as soon as possible after -rc1 gets released.
Patches 1/4, 2/4 and 3/4 are independent of each other, but patch 4/4
depends on the first three. Can we merge 1/4 in the media tree and
provide a stable branch right on top of -rc1 ?
