I'm inclined to let things sit as they are.  Cross-tree conflicts
happen, and Linus handles them.  I'll flag this (very simple) conflict
in the pull request, if MM merges second.  If v4l merges second then
hopefully they will do the same.  But this one is so simple that Linus
hardly needs our help.

But Linus won't be editing changelogs so that the changelog makes more
sense after both trees are joined.  I'm inclined to let the changelog
sit as it is as well.
