+CC Herbert for the last one.

This is likely to generate a conflict in -next though b/c
my spi driver that was applied for 5.20 also touches this
entry. It really pisses me off that I allowed this to
happen & become a burden..

What am I "meant" to do here? Do the merges myself & provide
the conflict resolution? Or for something as obvious as this
is it enough to notify that there will be one?

Sorry,
Conor.
