Could you please add

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nathan/linux.git clang-fixes-for-next

to -next? It will typically include build fixes for clang targeting the current development cycle but may occasionally include things for the next merge window, depending on size and timing.

If there are any issues or questions, please let me know.

I've added this from today. Given pending-fixes it might make sense to have two branches, one for the current merge window and one for the next merge window. An additional branch costs basically nothing if it's empty.

Thanks for adding your subsystem tree as a participant of linux-next. As you may know, this is not a judgement of your code. The purpose of linux-next is for integration testing and to lower the impact of conflicts between subsystems in the next merge window.

You will need to ensure that the patches/commits in your tree/series have been:
* submitted under GPL v2 (or later) and include the Contributor's Signed-off-by,
* posted to the relevant mailing list,
* reviewed by you (or another maintainer of your subsystem tree),
* successfully unit tested, and
* destined for the current or next Linux merge window.

Basically, this should be just what you would send to Linus (or ask him to fetch). It is allowed to be rebased if you deem it necessary.

Yeah, that is fair. I do not anticipate having to carry many patches in this tree, so we will see how it evolves. If I find myself needing to accumulate a lot of material for the next merge window as opposed to the current one, I will introduce a new branch and let you know.

Cheers,
Nathan
