But if you are trying to add new drivers, best is to just try the master branch of backports against the latest respective linux-next tag that backports works against, so in this case backports is at backports-20160324, so you can set you linux-next tree to next-20160324: git reset --hard next-20160324 This is because contributions would go to the master branch of backports.
