I saw those patches, honestly I couldn't entirely understand what

Did I mess a notification from StephenR in linux-next? I was unwaware
of this conflict?

The 'hmm' tree is something I ran to try and help workflow issues like
this, as it could be merged to DRM as a topic branch - maybe consider
this flow in future?

Linus, do you have any advice on how best to handle sharing mm
patches? The hmm.git was mildly painful as it sits between quilt on
the -mm side and what seems like 'a world of interesting git things'
on the DRM side (but maybe I just don't know enough about DRM).

I looked through this and it looks OK to me, thanks
