Hi Sinan,

What are these patches based on?  I normally apply things to my "master"
branch, which is typically -rc1 or -rc2.  Right now it's v4.11-rc1, and
these don't apply cleanly:

  04:17:59 ~/linux (master)$ stg branch --create pci/aspm-sk-v8 v4.11-rc1
  Checking for changes in the working directory ... done
  Don't know how to determine parent branch from "v4.11-rc1"
  Branch "pci/aspm-sk-v8" created
  04:18:18 ~/linux (pci/aspm-sk-v8)$ stg import -M --sign m/sk-v8
  Checking for changes in the working directory ... done
  Importing patch "pci-aspm-introduce" ... done
  Importing patch "pci-aspm-split-pci_aspm_init" ... done
  Importing patch "pci-aspm-add-init-hook-to" ... error: patch failed: drivers/pci/pcie/aspm.c:798
  error: drivers/pci/pcie/aspm.c: patch does not apply
  stg import: Diff does not apply cleanly
