Upon second thought, any merge conflicts will show up only when Linus
will merge clk and/or arm-soc branches.
As the arm-soc maintainers send multiple pull requests, it's difficult
to predict
which merge conflicts will happen when, and providing conflict resolutions
to arm-soc won't help much.
After some private discussion with Simon, we think the best solution is to
notify Linus in advance. All but one merge conflicts are of the "add both
sides" type.
I'll do so next week, before the merge window opens.
Thanks!
