Hello Catalin/Andrew,

The above mentioned dependencies are already in mm-unstable, thus reflecting
in linux-next as well. Just to rule out merge conflict - this series applies
cleanly, builds and boots on latest tag next-20261002, which contains above
dependencies. But please do let me know if there are still some issues in
resolving this situation - will be happy to help. Thank you.
