I was yes, the point I was trying to make (poorly) is that your patch
conflicts with Randy's patch which itself is not yet in linux-next, as
normally I send everything together at the start of the merge window to
Jens, as I don't have my own kernel.org tree yet, and usually I only get
one or two patches in a cycle anyway.

This is not your fault, you couldn't have been expected to know this in
retrospect, and I should probably look into getting my own tree/GPG key
sorted to alleviate this problem in future.

In the meantime, if you're comfortable with the idea, I can just resolve
the conflict myself when I send the patches onto Jens this time and
include patch 3/3 pre-fixed up. Merge window will be fairly soon anyway.

Thanks,
Phil
