Now that the code is in the kernel tree, any "branches currently in
development" have to deal with what is merged upstream no matter if they
are tiny or big patches.  That's just the joy of working with upstream,
sorry.

If you want to do out-of-tree development, that's fine, but you can't
also want the code in-tree at the same time.

thanks,
