Greg is probably trying to apply this series to the staging-next branch 
of his staging tree[0]
so you need to clone that one, or add it as an additional remote[1] to 
your clone of the kernel tree (much better option IMHO). After this you 
need to rebase[2] your changes onto the stating-next branch, fix up all 
conflicts in your code, and resend the patch.

I hope this helps

Tillmann
