Thanks for the heads' up. This happens because my -next branch is based on *-rc1
as I think was recommended at the last kernel summit. Since rc1 I sent Linus the
G50-30, but by rc6 I didn't feel good about sending the similar G50-30 fix, so
that is in my rc1 branch.

I am happy to rebase my -next on rc6 to avoid the conflict, but I believe the
rebase is considered poor practice.

You said no action required, but if there is something I can do to avoid this
kind of manual effort on your part (and a manual merge by Linus in the upcoming
merge window), I'm happy to update my process to accommodate.

Thanks,
