Drivers will go upstream through their proper subsystem maintainers,
not from my tree, but last time I got feedback that these drivers had
not seen any testing in linux-next. I can refrain from including
patches that I can't upstream directly in my for-next branch in the
future if you'd prefer but this way seemed to make less work for
others.
