I apologize, as I'm not the progenitor of the original patch or the
merge conflict I'm missing insight here.
My series is dependent on patches that were pulled in several trees
and the only place they are all currently available is in -next.
I attempted to correct the merge issue in my series, but I don't know
how I would do so when it needs to be based on multiple trees to be
correct.

I will wait until this all settles down and resubmit based on 5.18-rc1

Respectfully,
Peter
