Considering that your last merge was two years ago something goes wrong -
and I suspect something goes wrong at 5.

If you download the latest -rc kernel at step 1 there should usually be
no problem to let your patches Andrew add them to -mm and him forwarding
them to Linus at the next merge window instead of running into point 5.

If there are conflicts with some bigger cross-architecture changes they
should have been mentioned at 3.

I'll look at why it goes wrong when you submit your patches the
next time.
