Merge tag 'v3.4-rc6' into drm-intel-next
Conflicts: drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c Ok, this is a fun story of git totally messing things up. There /shouldn't/ be any conflict in here, because the fixes in -rc6 do only touch functions that have not been changed in -next. The offending commits in drm-next are 14415745b2..1fa611065 which simply move a few functions from intel_display.c to intel_pm.c. The problem seems to be that git diff gets completely confused: $ git diff 14415745b2..1fa611065 is a nice mess in intel_display.c, and the diff leaks into totally unrelated functions, whereas $git diff --minimal 14415745b2..1fa611065 is exactly what we want. Unfortunately there seems to be no way to teach similar smarts to the merge diff and conflict generation code, because with the minimal diff there really shouldn't be any conflicts. For added hilarity, every time something in that area changes the + and - lines in the diff move around like crazy, again resulting in new conflicts. So I fear this mess will stay with us for a little longer (and might result in another backmerge down the road). Signed-Off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>
