linux-next is usually a day or so behind my tree, due to the time
differences when it is created and why I usually do work.

You can work off of my staging-next branch in my staging.git tree on
git.kernel.org, that is the most up-to-date branch that ends up in
linux-next.  I also use staging-testing, to test things, but I would not
recommend that for you as it can be rebased and would be a pain to work
against.

It's ok that conflicts happen, that's how kernel development works,
sometimes people send in the same change minutes from each other, so I
have to take the one that was sent first.  It's ok, just move on and
work on something else if you really want to.

It's not silly, it comes up all the time.

good luck!
