Hi Andrew,
Today's linux-next merge of the akpm-current tree got a conflict in:
lib/Kconfig.debug
between commit:
96efc4fed452 ("arch: consolidate CONFIG_STRICT_DEVM in lib/Kconfig.debug")
from the nvdimm tree and commit:
3e138efd477e ("UBSAN: run-time undefined behavior sanity checker")
from the akpm-current tree.
I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary (no action
is required).
