I wonder if it's you or me who has a wrong expectation about Linus here.
IIUC he is unhappy if you pull some random tree (e.g. his own) for no
better reason than to update, but an immutable tag/branch to get a
dependency right should be fine. That's the whole idea about immutable
tags and branches, isn't it?

mfd and backlight just started stacking on top of 662233731d66cf41e7494e532e702849c8ce18f3.
So you should be in good company at least if Linus gets angry :-)
Best regards
