I have posted a respin of this patch after rebasing it on top of
phy-next. One aspect that is not clear to me is, phy-next branch does
not have the following commit which is present in linux-next master,

29afbd769ca3 phy: cadence: Sierra: fix error handling bugs in probe()

When the respin of this patch(v3) is merged with linux-next/master
wouldn't it cause merge-conflicts?

May I know how would this be handled?

Link to v3:

Thanks,
