Rebasing before it gets baked into any tree is still ok. And for something like this we do need a test branch first, which might need a fixup patch squashed in. On the drm side we have a drm-local integration tree for this stuff (like linux-next, but without all the other stuff that's not relevant for graphics). But yeah that's just details, easy to figure out. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation +41 (0) 79 365 57 48 - http://blog.ffwll.ch
