It was against staging-testing as there is a (trivial) merge conflict
in there with https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git/commit/?h=staging-testing&id=2aaeaaff1ae21b2817256435c7fc0095eeda61ae
which is also in staging-next
What is the best practice in such case?

Thanks to kbuild test robot I found that it is failing to build there
because I forgot to add a dependency on CFG80211 in Kconfig, so I will
need to send a v2.
