Hi Nick,

I just noticed a fatal mistake I made when pushing it to the branch on
kernel.org: I used to have both a 'master' and an 'asm-generic' branch
in asm-generic.git but tried to remove the 'master' one as there is not
really any point in having two.

Unfortunately I forgot to check which one of the two was part of
linux-next, and it was the other one, so none of the patches I picked
up ever saw any wider testing aside from the 0day bot building it
(successfully).

Are there other changes that depend on this? If not, I would
just wait until -rc1 and then either push the branch correctly or
rebase the patches on that first, to avoid pushing something that
did not see the necessary testing.
