I don't know how you use b4, but

        git checkout v6.18-rc3
        b4 am -3 [email protected]
        git am -3 
./v18_20250924_a_hindborg_rust_extend_module_macro_with_integer_parameter_support.mbx

works fine on my end. Using `-3` should have the same effect as applying
the series on top of the original base and rebase it.

        git fetch 
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/modules/linux.git 
rebase/[email protected]
        git range-diff FETCH_HEAD...HEAD

confirms that.

Yeah, I expect that Stephen will highlight the conflicts, but I prefer
to not be surprised by that and consider linux-next more a fallback
security net that I don't want to use. I like it to be the other way
round and tell Stephen about conflicts to expect :-)

That command shows the patch to apply, but not the conflict, let alone
your resolution.

So here the addition of `params` is missing.

When I merge your branch mentioned above with my pwm/for-next and
resolve the merge conflicts, the resolution looks as follows. The only
non-trivial thing is that

        if let Some(imports) = info.imports_ns {

now needs a & for `info`.
