So to be very clear, what you would need to do is merge the one commit
branch that Mark sent you a pull request for:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound.git tags/asoc-hdmi-codec-pdata

and as part of the merge commit (so e.g. "git apply <patch>; git commit
--amend" on top of the merge), add the two patches we are talking about:

  "drm: sti: fix prototypes after API change"
  "drm: mediatek: fix prototypes after API change"

Then any further conflicts can hopefully be fixed up as they appear in
your tree (if any).  Or be avoided by people developing against your
tree.
