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.
