Hi all,
Today's linux-next merge of the drm-misc tree got a conflict in:he drm-misc tree with the drm-misc-fixes tree
drivers/gpu/drm/tidss/tidss_encoder.c
between commit:
9da67433f64e ("drm/tidss: fix crash related to accessing freed memory")
from the drm-misc-fixes tree and commit:
b28ad7deb2f2 ("drm/tidss: Use simple encoder")
from the drm-misc tree.
I fixed it up (I just used the latter version of this file) and can
We need to use "drm/tidss: fix crash related to accessing freed memory" version.
carry the fix as necessary. This is now fixed as far as linux-next is
concerned, but any non trivial conflicts should be mentioned to your
upstream maintainer when your tree is submitted for merging. You may
also want to consider cooperating with the maintainer of the conflicting
tree to minimise any particularly complex conflicts.
I have fixed this with drm-misc's dim tool, so I presume the conflict goes away when drm-misc-fixes
is merged to drm-fixes, and drm-fixes is then at some point merged to drm-misc-next.
It was a bit bad timing with the "drm/tidss: Use simple encoder", which removes the plumbing I
needed to implement the fix. So I effectively revert the "drm/tidss: Use simple encoder".
