Thank you, just rebased the patch to 7.2.5-rc1 and posted as another reply [1].

As number of stable patches for DAMON is increasing, this kind of patch
applying-order based conflict might be even more common in future.  Maybe I
could reduce this kind of issues if I could post fixed patches as single patch
series, instead of replying to this kind of individual failure report.

I was initially worried if your workflow is dependent to the guided workflow
(replying ported patch as a reply to each failure report), and hence if this
could make your job more difficult.  But I know the stable patch submission
rules are quite flexible.  And you may already have good enough automation for
such small change.s  So as long as I keep the essential stable patches rule
(use 'cherry-pick -x' option and add target branch name as patch subject tag),
that might not really make your work worse?

If that is fine, I will try that from the next time, unless only single failure
is reported on the day.
