This is in drm-misc-next - I'm not sure which "offending commit" you are
referring to. I'm referring to:

96c7c2f4d5bd ("drm/scheduler: set entity to NULL in
drm_sched_entity_pop_job()")

which was merged yesterday to drm-misc-next (and is currently the top
commit).

Is there another commit which has been reverted elsewhere which is
conflicting?
