For this and for the PMU one, I'm really sorry. I believe I should had
mentioned this to Dave when sending pull request for drm-intel-fixes.

I didn't mentioned because for what fixes is concerned this shouldn't
be a problem, but I totally forgot about linux-next. Please accept my
apologies.

Do you use any rerere on linux-next? I wonder if drm-rerere could be used
somehow here to simplify this process of propagating conflicts resolutions
like this.

Thanks,
Rodrigo.
