I developed on top of next-20190918 on which I applied
https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11149497/ as I mentioned in the cover
letter. The dev_pm_qos patches and my RFC have just cleanly rebased together on
top of next-20190920. Could you check if you have the dev_pm_qos patches (v5,
the version number is missing in this one; link above) and if so, where does the
conflict appear?
