Right, it will work better on Linus's level, but it won't work on Doug vs. Dave level. The complete PR means that your code should apply cleanly on netdev and RDMA at the same time. At some point of time, usually after -rc4 for bleeding edge devices, the netdev and RDAM trees are so different in that area (for example mlx5_core) that the chances to have clean PR are not high.
