This is orthogonal to the normal upstreaming path. linux-next is an integration
tree that is created daily. So all the remote branches are merged and a git tag
published. The branch does not get rebased and history is not preserved between
two published linux-next tags.

This is just to test the integration of different subsystems to be sure that a
commit in one tree does not cause a regression in another one so issues can be
spot earlier. For example in the case of $subject, a change in the OF caused a
regression in the Exynos DRM driver.

You don't really need another branch, git will take care of merge everything
in linux-next :)
