linux-next: manual merge of the arm-soc tree with Linus' tree

Posted by Stephen Rothwell 3 years, 11 months ago

Hi all,

Today's linux-next merge of the arm-soc tree got a conflict in:

  drivers/clocksource/Makefile

between commit:

  c92e7ef16400 ("clocksource/drivers: Add a goldfish-timer clocksource")

from Linus' tree and commit:

  5184f4bf151b ("clocksource/drivers/timer-gxp: Add HPE GXP Timer")

from the arm-soc tree.

I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary. This
is now fixed as far as linux-next is concerned, but any non trivial
conflicts should be mentioned to your upstream maintainer when your tree
is submitted for merging.  You may also want to consider cooperating
with the maintainer of the conflicting tree to minimise any particularly
complex conflicts.

Hi Stephen,

Thank you for resolving the merge issue. I am relatively new to this process.. Can you provide a link to where you were notified of the merge conflict?

The purpose of linux-next (which is my project) is integration testing,
so I spend all day merging the branches that Linus will merge during
the merge window. The conflict appeared when I merged the arm-soc tree
yesterday.
