This is merged, that being said .. there are a couple of things that could use a second set of eyes. 1) I had a preempt-rt conflict in fs/libfs.c. It looks like scan_positives() was introduced. The merge picked up a conflict, when really it should have just been the introduction of that new function and a drop of the old ones. But again, a 2nd set of eyes to see if I read it right would be nice. 2) there was a conflict in v5.2/standard/xlnx-soc in drivers/tty/serial/uartlite.c. There's a minor change in the driver unregistration. I resolved he conflict, but there now might be two unregister calls .. and I'm not sure how well that'll work. I copied Quanyang, to have a look and see if I got it right.
