I have a merge resolution in linux-next.  The resolution (simple as it
is) can just wait until the second of these two trees is merged into
Linus' tree (or the second tree could be fixed up my merging Linus' tree
after the first of the above trees is merged).

So currently, there is nothing to be done, I think, thanks.
