I think that we agreed that branches are going to be updated on constant basis.
This operation process is the same as DaveM's methodology.

I'm going to post pull-requests together with patches based on for-next Doug's tag.
https://www.mail-archive.com/netdev-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org/msg168151.html

The readers of this mailing list will see slightly different cover
letter, but no other changes will be (they still see and discuss over
patches posted on to the mailing list), while Doug will do something like:
git pull git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/saeed/linux.git tags/mlx5-fixes-2017-05-12-V2
into his tree and will get the whole series.

So nothing to change, just update for-next, for-rc constantly and pull for-rc to for-next from time to time.

Thanks
