Re: linux-next: manual merge of the ieee1394 tree with the origin tree

[Takashi Sakamoto <o-takashi@sakamocchi.jp>]

Hi Mark,

Thank you for reporting the merge conflict.

The ieee1394 tree has now been rebased onto v7.3 tag to include a fix from
this PR[1]. This may have introduced a conflict in the linux-next tree.

I believe that linux-next will merge the v7.3 tag and merges all or
required branches onto it  within a few days, at which point the conflict
should disappear. However, I'm not entirely familiar with how you maintain
the tree.

Please let me know if you encounter any further issues related to ieee1394
tree.

Thanks
