Do we need to? The conflicts seemed to be trivial ones, like arm-soc
adds/removes something that just happens to be next to something else
that I add/remove.

"trickery" to avoid them.

Normally my tree goes via fbdev-tree (Florian's tree) to mainline.

If we want to resolve the conflicts, perhaps it's simplest if the dss
tree is merged to arm-soc.
