This is a pet peeve of mine.  Any time there's a long list of items
(header file inclusions, kconfig entries, array initalisers, etc) and
someone wants to add a new item, they *always* go and stick it at the
end of the list.

Which is exactly where everyone else applies their modifications.  The
whole thing is carefully set up to maximise the number of conflicts.

Guys, don't do this.  Either put the new item into a randomly-chosen
position or, probably better, alphanumerically sort the list.


For this reason it looks like approximately 0% of the patchset will
apply, sorry.
