I feel embarrassed to say this but in my branch there are commits to the driver and other commits for the board so it looks more like

---0---D1---B1---B2---D2---B3---B4---

D* - driver changes B* - board changes

So to go back to the 0 state I lose my board changes. But I hope what I did (in my reply to Linus) is very close to your idea of having separate branches.
