Is see 3 options to handle this situation:

(1) I can provide an RB for this patch and Jassi picks it up in his tree. The
downside is that if a subsequent submission conflicts with this change, we have
to wait for the next cycle. In that case:

Reviewed-by: Mathieu Poirier <mathieu.poirier@xxxxxxxxxx>

(2) Jassi provides me with a pull request to bring the patch in the
rproc-next tree.

(3) I pick it up in the rproc-next tree in 5 weeks when v7.1-rc1 comes out.
