I purposely sent in refactoring changes that made no functional
changes to the code.

I have been caught in this mess before. This isn't a simple case of
resolving conflicts. What happens is that git isn't smart enough to
track changes across a refactor. That results in big conflicts
covering most of the contents of the files involved. The conflicts in
the refactor then cascade into all of the other patches.

If we put the refactor in front of the fixes git will get everything right.

Why are people going to complain about patches to a driver marked
broken? You can't even compile it without editing the Kconfig.
