I did

git remote add mfd git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lee/mfd.git
git fetch --tags mfd
git merge mfd-hwmon-leds-watchdog-v3.18

in both my hwmon-next and watchdog-next branches. Both are currently building,
and already pushed into to my repository at kernel.org.

So, effectively, when I send my pull request to Linus, all patches from
mfd-hwmon-leds-watchdog-v3.18 will be included, ie the entire series.
The same will happen when Lee sends his pull request, and Wim, and you.
I believe that is what Lee is asking for.

Thanks,
Guenter
