Agree with Leon here. Unless otherwise stated, I would think for-next 
should always be the default target. I try to tag my subject with 
for-next or for-rc to make it clear.

Now of course that being said here is an exception. I sent a series 2 
weeks ago that didn't make Doug's pull request for 4.15. I'd like to see 
some of that stuff land in the rc if there are no objections. The driver 
changes at least, the CM/SA can probably push off to for-next.

I could resubmit just the series, or you could just pick the 4 driver 
patches from patchworks whatever is easiest.
