What the bot uses is not the issue. The issue is not stating what your
dependencies are. linux-next is not a stable base. No patches to be
applied should be based on linux-next because there's no maintainer
that can take them if you consider anything in linux-next could be a
dependency. Of course, you're probably just dependent on one
maintainer's tree usually, but whose tree? Am I supposed to figure
that out?

linux-next is frequently broken with respect to binding checks, so it
really doesn't work for the bot. I need a known good base.
