I'll bite - what happens when we find such a place? Kernel fails to build, or
user has a suboptimal usage experience, or?

What are the expected chances that sticking this in linux-next for a cycle will
result in most/all of the places being found before this all appears in an
official release? I'm thinking this should probably go in linux-next right after
the next merge window closes, to maximize the chances we'll shake it
all out during almost 2 cycles before it hits the streets. (And yes, I know
it's a staging/ driver - if somebody else says "one cycle is more than enough"
I'm OK with that too...)
