But it would help all of the rest of us out immensely.  From what I can
tell (please correct me if I'm wrong), the linux-arm tree isn't
publicly seen by anyone else so they know exactly what they need to
rebase off of to submit patches for to you.  Getting your stuff into
linux-next would provide a public place for others to base off of,
making it easier for them to send patches to you ensuring that they
apply properly.

Which in the end, will help others be able to contribute easier, and
help you by getting patches you do not need to rebase yourself.

thanks,
