I'm only going to ack things if I expect to see them applied via another tree, that's generally what an ack means from a maintainer. Especially with ASoC where we keep on having subsystem wide changes quite often I'm not likely to do that for things like new drivers unless it's very clear what the timelines are. It would be enormously helpful to get the bits of the core MFDs that create dependencies committed while the rest of the series is still in process, as well as allowing things to be applied it also helps with knowing if the dependencies are stable.
