Hm, I think this is my fault, sorry.  The patch that this conflicts with
was applied by me yesterday, and didn't make it into linux-next for the
release that you are using.

Sorry about that.  You can wait for the next linux-next release
tomorrow, or you can work off my staging-next branch of the staging.git
tree on git.kernel.org (that branch ends up in linux-next.)

So you were doing the right thing, we just got out of sync.
