OK.  I'm not quite sure how to generate a patchset or a
git commit-set that applies cleanly against two different
trees (3.2 and linux-next), but I guess common sense should
tell me that, since the patches have to go through staging-next
first and you are applying patches rather than git-pull'ing,
staging-next should be my preferred choice for a base.

Do you want me to resend all 6 patches?  The only patch
affected is patch 6 of 6.  All others apply cleanly.
Let me know and I will resend one or all tomorrow.

Sorry for the noise/hassle, but this is a learning process...
