Linus has repeated told people not to do that.  He wants to see the
conflicts.  You should mention any conflicts you know about in your pull
request - just as a heads up to him.

However, if a conflict is particularly tricky, it may be worth while to
a test merge in another branch and tell him about that other branch in
your pull request.
