No, you can't.

This series depends on my Kconfig work.

You queued it up on v4.17-rc3,
but necessary patches are not there.

You will get build errors.

Please do not do this.

You can issue Acked-by instead.


I need all the 4 patches to my tree.
Otherwise, the git-bisect'ability breaks for PowerPC.

See, the PPC breakage report from Stephen Rothwell
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/5/29/1296

Yes.

I already queued my and Nicholas' patches.

Nicholas,

Please check if the patch order is correct.


I need to insert 'powerpc/kbuild' patches between.
