There is no need to carry the series into yours, just add a link to the
cover letter to your dependencies and folks can pick them up.

b4 also provides a dependency management mechanism, and will even fetch
them automatically if the people applying your series also use it.

I don't know which tree is going to pick this series, so whether we can
use it this cycle or not will depend on that. But if it lands in
`drm-rust-next`, then it's just a few weeks until you can drop the
dependency link from your cover letter anyway.
