Hi,

This time it seems like you based your branch on 5.14-rc5, which is a newer -rc
than what we have the rest of our trees on. The general rule of thumb is to
base it on the oldest meaningful rc for the release (rc1 or rc2, most of the
time). We normally base our tree on rc2 or so, in this case I went forward to
rc3 earlier.

(Maybe you had the same base last time around, and I missed it -- my tooling
failed out on the S-o-b checking before I noticed)

To avoid another roundtrip here, I'll apply the two patches directly, but
please keep it in mind in the future, especially once you have more material
for a cycle.
