Hmm.

I got a conflict in the mlx driver. It looked trivial, but just to
make sure I compared against the resolution in linux-next.

My conflict resolution is different, though, and I think mine is the
correct one (although maybe they end up both being fine).

But I'm just about to leave for travel, and maybe I'm wrong, so I just
wanted to people to verify...

It's

   drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/pci_irq.c

and in particular the 'err_xa' release part of mlx5_irq_alloc() - I
made it use irq_update_affinity_hint() to match the irq_release()
paths.

Maybe irq_set_affinity_hint() is equivalent when the new hint is NULL?
