4/5 needs to be upstream (via Rafael) first though, doesn't it? That's
the keystone here, the rest appears to fall out nicely once that has
gone in.

Certainly the conflict above isn't (IMHO) worth worrying about in and of
itself, it will be trivially resolved when Linus does the pull. (doubly
so if the pull request warns him it's coming and says what to do...)

It's unfortunately often the case when a change spans multiple
maintainers.
