Its a pretty trivial conflict, so I wouldn't do the rebase just for this. > The issue is I had a fix that went straight to 5.11.

I notice that the version in Linus' tree was merged from a separate branch. The easiest that to do is for you to merge that same branch into your for-next branch - that way you only get your own changes, not any other stuff that might be in Linus' tree. > I don't usually do that as in my mind for next is for 5.12 and fixes for 5.11 > go > straight to 5.11.

Like I said, just merge your fixes branch into you for-next branch when/if you think the fixes are important for further development, or the conflicts become to great. I can also add you fixes branch to linux-next if you like (I already have 86 other "fixes" branches). -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell
