I see. Well I'm not sure how. If we apply it to either ASoC or MFD and
other patches pertaining to that file subsequently appear, then
conflict is likely. As you know, the commonly used mitigation
technique we usually employ is immutable branches, but this was not
employed in this case for one reason or another. So if we apply it now
to either one of the trees we will be hedging our bets.
