Yes, it'll need to be updated for mainline.  I'd expect the updated
version to be submitted via linux-kernel to myself and Liam (it's Liam
who'd be doing the actual merge with Linus).

I'd expect that would be done for whatever data is required - it's the

get implemented prior to merge and what can be added in further patches
later.
