Not to my knowledge. Patch "[2/6] spi: spi-geni-qcom: Use OPP API to set
clk/perf state" depends on a change in 'include/linux/qcom-geni-se.h' made
by "1/6] tty: serial: qcom_geni_serial: Use OPP API to set clk/perf state",
however that's not true for this patch.

I wonder if it would have been better to split this series into individual
patches/mini-series, to avoid this kind of confusion.

Yes, that was my understanding and prompted me to clarify this with you.

The patch could go through the QCOM tree, but to my knowledge there is no
reason for it.

Btw, the patch "[V8,7/8] spi: spi-qcom-qspi: Add interconnect support"
(https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11620285/) is in a similar situation.
Another patch of the series for the 'spi-geni-qcom' driver has to go
through the QCOM change due to changes in geni, but the QSPI driver
doesn't use geni and could therefore go through your tree.

Ultimately I don't really care too much through which tree the patches
land as long as you and Bjorn agree on it :)
