Yes, I am aware of this problem.

I can do that. But it might happen that I decide to rebase, and I
wanted you to warn in advance that this might happen.

I will pull into next if anybody sends me a pull request (and I
appreciate if that happens as it reduces the amount of pending
patches).

Before the merge window opens, I will merge next into master.

If integration tests are needed, we use u-boot-testing for this
purpose.
