No it doesn't, you made that up. :)

I know when you and some others Ack a patch, that's what you mean, but
you've been working with me for long enough to know that's not what I
mean when I Ack a patch. I do it as an indication that I've reviewed
the patch and I'm happy with it. Most MFD patches that have
dependencies tend to come through the MFD tree. If that's not the
case, my Ack is usually backed up with a "I expect this patch to go
through the X tree".
