Great. Thanks. Reason for the last question was more that if we want to
merge TTM patches outside of the default branch if they are required
for a driver feature, and then we always ask for ack to merge on a
different branch / repo. If we have an agreed default we typically
don't ask for a separate merge ack on that one.
