Personally I think that's a bit too strict (if people want to screw up, they will be able to anyway). But since I'm all for clearer rules where possible, this has my support too.

I was trying to figure out if it was permissible to merge the Mesa side of V3D's CSD support yet while it's in drm-misc-next but not drm-next, and developers on #dri-devel IRC had differing opinions of what the requirement was. v2: Restrict to just drm-next or drm-misc-next on airlied's request.
