Hi Stephen,

We are experimenting how we could take "next-next" patches during merge windows and avoid accumulation of patches for the period which is in practice three weeks for wireless patches. To do that could you please change linux-next to pull from wireless trees for-next branches instead of main branches? So the new locations are:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wireless/wireless.git for-next
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wireless/wireless-next.git for-next

The idea we have is that wireless-next for-next branch is not updated during the merge window and then the "next-next" patches will not be included in linux-next until the merge window has closed.

OK, I have switched to using those branches.

Great, thank you Stephen. I now took the first patch[1] to wireless-next main branch but you should not see it in for-next branch until the merge window is closed.
