Looks like your header has a white space error: Applying: mpt3sas: Update MPI Header .git/rebase-apply/patch:1452: new blank line at EOF. + Also, FYI, this project has a lot of sparse errors that look like existed before your patchset. As your patchset touches a few of the files that have sparse warnings (such as mpt3sas_base.c, mpt3sas_scsih.c, etc), maybe you'll want to investigate fixing these things?
