Hi Greg,

I've checked and I'm working with linux-next from September 28.

I've even cloned a fresh repository and applied my patch against it, and it didn't return any error.

I'm following this man page: https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/linux-next.html

And these are the latest commits I can see in my local repository.
