I take it that you are talking about this tag:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/agross/linux.git qcom-drivers-for-4.9

I did a test pull and there are only 8 commits so in theory that could
work. But my trees go via Dave Miller's net-next so I can't control when
they hit Linus' tree. It might be that Linus pulls the net-next tree
before arm-soc and arm-soc commits coming from net-next might confuse
people. I'm just afraid that the hassle would outweight the benefit.

> Or we can wait till -rc1

To keep things simple I prefer this option. Of course it means waiting
few more extra weeks, but when working with new subsystems that can
happen. The crystall ball[1] says that 4.9-rc1 would be released on
2016-10-16 so it's not that far away.
