linux-next: manual merge of the amdgpu tree with the jc_docs tree

Posted by Stephen Rothwell 2 years ago

Hi all,

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

  Documentation/driver-api/index.rst

between commit:

  50709576d81b ("Documentation: Destage TEE subsystem documentation")

from the jc_docs tree and commit:

  2128f3cca5a2 ("Documentation/driver-api: Add document about WBRF mechanism")

from the amdgpu 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.

Thanks, both fixups in that file seem fine.

Clearly, though, we've run into the "everybody adding stuff to the end
causes a lot of conflicts" problem.  Time to impose some better
organization onto that file.
