Its a pretty trivial conflict, so I wouldn't do the rebase just for this.

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.

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).
