When patches are pushed to mainline it's somehow orthogonal to what is
exposed in -next. Only fixes for regressions will be pushed during the
-rc cycle and new features will be pushed during the next merge window
of course but that should not prevent accepted patches to get some test
coverage under -next.

In fact, ideally patches should sit in -next for a couple of weeks before
are pushed to mainline since there is a lot of automated (0day, kernelci,
etc) and manual testing that happen on that tree to detect issues earlier.

I noticed that linux-phy isn't shown in [0] though, probably should be added?
