To what? The table is already there in Linus's tree, with
fsl,mpc8610-pci. You don't need to add it again.

That's not what that means. What it means is that if someone else has
already posted a patch, and your patch is supposed to go on top of that
patch, you should mention that.

If that's the case, you should label it as an [RFC PATCH] (stands for
Request For Comments), and mention under the --- line any known issues,
such as that it doesn't apply to the current tree.
But it would be a lot easier to comment on it if it were based on the
current code, rather than having to speculate what you'd do when you rebase.
