I'm not sure if this is a joke, or not? :)

next/master == Linux Next.  The daily merged repo where all of the
*-next branches end up to ensure interoperability.  It's also the
branch that is most heavily tested by the auto-builders to ensure the
vast majority of issues are ironed out before hitting Mainline.

Looks like net-next gets merged into next/master:

commit 452958f1f3d1c8980a8414f9c37c8c6de24c7d32
Merge: 1eabba209a17a f50e2f9f79164
Author: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Thu Jan 14 10:35:40 2021 +1100

    Merge remote-tracking branch 'net-next/master'

So I'm not sure what it's conflicting with.

Do you have patches in net-next that didn't make it into next/master
for some reason?

I'll try to rebase again tomorrow.

Hopefully I am able to reproduce your issue by then.
