I recently asked Stephen to add the linux-i3c tree to linux-next, so
I'm expecting conflicts :-/. Sorry, I didn't know you were planning to
take these patches through your tree.

BTW, I also fixed a couple of things when rebasing on top of 4.20-rc1:

- KernelVersion in the sysfs ABI doc has been updated to 5.0
- Fixed i3c_master_getmxds_locked() (bug reported/fixed by Colin here
  https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg1799850.html)
- Removed a blank line at the end of master-driver-api.rst

For the record, the i3c/next branch pulled by Stephen is available here
[1].

Thanks for reviewing it! Greg, Stephen, let me know if you want me to
reset i3c/next to v4.20-rc1 to avoid conflicts in linux-next.

Regards,

Boris
