Good news first, I tested next-20210827 with ath11k (using QCA6390) and
it's working fine. So Stephen solved the conflict correctly, at least
from ath11k point of view. And my suggestion is that Linus should do the
same resolution when merging char-misc-next (after he has merged
net-next).

I'll explain that in detail below. But do note that I'm not familiar
with the MHI subsystem and the MHI folks really should look at this in
detail to make sure no new bugs are introduced! I did the conflict
resolution myself and at least ath11k works after this resolution.

In my test merge I first used Linus' tree as of today as the baseline.
I first merged net-next and it went without conflicts. After that I
merged char-misc-next and got conflicts in two files:

$ git merge char-misc/char-misc-next

Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.

Luckily the conflicts are simple:

        if (rc)
                return rc;

In both cases just take the first hunk from HEAD and remove the second
hunk from char-misc-next. After the conflict resolution 'git diff'
should show:

diff --git a/drivers/bus/mhi/core/main.c b/drivers/bus/mhi/core/main.c

Greg, does this help? Stephen, do you have any advice how to handle
this?
