RE: [PATCH net v6 1/4] net: ethernet: oa_tc6: Protect skb pointer used by two different kernel instances

[Selvamani Rajagopal]

Paolo, Andrew (or anyone who knows)

What to do for the following error for my submission to the net repo.  I see the following error in patchwork.
     "Conflicts with pending/net patches (net-next-2026-08-13--06-00): error: patch failed: drivers/net/ethernet/oa_tc6.c:693 error: drivers/net/ethernet/oa_tc6.c: patch does not apply

Conflict is due to the changes in the same file, probably overlapping, on both repos. How do we handle such scenarios? Should I wait for net-next changes to get merged to net?

FYI:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20260812-fix-race-condition-and-crash-v6-1-6cf90f4a271a@xxxxxxxxxx/

Sincerely
Selva
