Which is what I was doing, as I said I had thought I'd pushed up
something different to what was actually there.

I don't treat my own patches any differently to any other patches I push
out; in this case the issue was a mistaken fix for a merge issue cherry
picking the code out of a working branch into the public branch.

With a huge chunk of new device enablement like this it's just not
possible to do anything except build testing on the branches in -next,
there'll be at least some cross tree issues getting in the way of
actually running anything. At that point all the issues with time spent
doing build tests apply; as I keep saying I will tend to do some if I
have time but it can fall by the wayside and they're not the tests
anyone else does.
