FYI, we got a small conflict when merging 'net' in 'net-next' in the
MPTCP tree due to this patch applied in 'net':

  4186c8d9e6af ("net: ftgmac100: Ensure tx descriptor updates are visible")

and this one from 'net-next':

  e24a6c874601 ("net: ftgmac100: Get link speed and duplex for NC-SI")

----- Generic Message -----
The best is to avoid conflicts between 'net' and 'net-next' trees but if
they cannot be avoided when preparing patches, a note about how to fix
them is much appreciated.

The conflict has been resolved on our side[1] and the resolution we
suggest is attached to this email. Please report any issues linked to
this conflict resolution as it might be used by others. If you worked on
the mentioned patches, don't hesitate to ACK this conflict resolution.
---------------------------

Regarding this conflict, it looks like it was due to a
refactoring/clean-up, removing extra whitespaces a bit everywhere in the
same file, and was surprisingly part of the fix patch applied in 'net'.
The two unrelated changes have been taken to resolve this conflict:
removing the extra space, and adding 'phy_stop(netdev->phydev);' after
the 'err_ncsi' label.

Rerere cache is available in [2].

Cheers,
Matt
