I suspect this is the 'backmerge' problem: You pulled the fixes branch
into the soc-cpuidle branch, so git now sees the fixes as part of your
branch. IIRC you can avoid this if you do the merge the other way round
and start a new branch on top of fixes and then pull the soc-cpuidle
branch into that. That in turn will give you an odd-looking commit
message though, so you can't do it right until someone adds support into
git-merge to handle it better.
