I am trying to backport from Linux 4.4 drivers to Linux 3.10.108 with
backports.
These are my commands.
----
$ cd ~/git
$ git clone
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git
$ cd ~/git
$ git clone
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git
$ cd linux-stable
$ git checkout v3.10.108
$ cd ~/git
$ git clone
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/backports/backports.git
$ cd backports
$ git checkout linux-4.4.y
$ ./gentree.py --copy-list ./copy-list --integrate --clean
--git-revision v4.4 ~/git/linux-next ~/git/linux-stable

Is this caused by my invalid procedure ?
If so, please tell me right way.
