Merge conflict in gem kernel with git-pull

[garrone]

Hi,
 Whenever I attempt a git-pull in my local copy of drm-intel archive,
 branch drm-intel-next, (at branch 'drm-intel-next' of
 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/anholt/drm-intel),
 I get merge conflict messages, specifically:

*****************************************************************

Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.

and if fact there are conflict messages in these files.
Most of them are spurious, for example drm_drv.c has:

*****************************************************************
<<<<<<< HEAD:drivers/gpu/drm/drm_drv.c
    if (dev->lock.hw_lock) {
        dev->sigdata.lock = dev->lock.hw_lock = NULL;   /* SHM removed */
        dev->lock.file_priv = NULL;
        wake_up_interruptible(&dev->lock.lock_queue);
    }

However some are real.  I can reset this with "git reset --hard HEAD" command.
However I would like to update to the latest drm/i915 modules. 
Is my local copy likely to be corrupted in some way?
Thanks in advance.
