You create a separate branch "for-upstream" based on the parent of commit 1.

Then you chery-pick commit 1 and commit 3.

You can leave the other branch as-is, and deal with that later, or you can rebaste that temporary branch on top of "for-upstream".

Or you can rebase first, create a new branch from tmp~2, and then push it.
