Hi Andrew,

Thanks for pointing this out.

I realized I was using the wrong Linux 6.6 tree when testing — I used
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git
(branch: linux-6.6.y) instead of the OpenBMC Linux kernel. That tree’s
index.rst doesn’t include mp5990, which caused the conflict. I’ll use
the OpenBMC Linux kernel for patch preparation next time to avoid this
issue.
