I was rebasing my -next branch, which hosts all musb patches for next
merge window, to your usb-next branch. I regularly keep my branches up
to date to ensure the patches I send to you don't cause any surprise.

It is not a problem at all, the merge conflict is one of the simplest to
fix. I just wanted to learn your maintenance policy, to avoid me cause
any problem to you, as the couple glitches just happened in the past
months.

I understand it is common in kernel development.

I do expect merge conflict. If the $subject patch went through my tree,
the similar merge error could happen too (just in the opposite way).  It
was that I was rebasing my branch and about to pick the $subject patch,
and didn't expect this merge conflict in rebase, so asked.
