That's more or less what I've done with my builds, thanks Stephen.

I asked this on a previous conflict but never received an answer so
I'll ask it one more time: is there a recommended way to notify
linux-next of an upcoming conflict?  I generally notice the merge
conflict within a few minutes of merging the patches into a -next
branch, and fix it shortly afterwards.  I'm happy to provide a
heads-up, and a merge example, but I'm not sure what the process is
for that, if any.  Or, would you simply prefer to notice it yourself?
I'm not bothered either way, I just thought you might appreciate the
heads-up.
