linux-next: duplicate patches in the mfd-fixes tree

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 491 bytes --]

Hi all,

The following commits are also in Linus Torvalds' tree as different
commits (but the same patches):

  91a3e1f5453a ("mfd: ls2kbmc: Check for devm_mfd_add_devices() failure")
  fdff3cadeea9 ("mfd: ls2kbmc: Fix an IS_ERR() vs NULL check in probe()")

These are commits

  4af66c2bcab0 ("mfd: ls2kbmc: check for devm_mfd_add_devices() failure")
  0892507f4a0b ("mfd: ls2kbmc: Fix an IS_ERR() vs NULL check in probe()")

in Linus' tree.

Cheers,

This is because Corey applied patches that they shouldn't have done,
despite being expressively requested not to!

I missed this completely, I'm sorry.

If there's anything I can do to fix this, I will, but I'm not sure what
is best now.

Just the fact that you have now acknowledged this is enough for me.

However frustrating it may be, no real harm was done.

Thanks for reaching out.
