The conflicts are of two varieties:

1) Conflicts with Joe Perches's 'extern' removal from header file
   function declarations.  Usually it's an argument signature change
   or a function being added/removed.  The resolutions are trivial.

2) Some overlapping changes in qmi_wwan.c and be.h, one commit adds
   a new value, another changes an existing value.  That sort of
   thing.

9a3bab6b05 net: net_secret should not depend on TCP
A host might need net_secret[] and never open a single socket.

Problem added in commit aebda156a5
("net: defer net_secret[] initialization")

Based on prior patch from Hannes Frederic Sowa.

a4ea1fef97 secure_seq.h: Remove extern from function prototypes
There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern
in the kernel sources.  Standardize on not using extern for
function prototypes.

Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern.
extern is assumed by the compiler.  Its use is as unnecessary as
using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

aebda156a5 net: defer net_secret[] initialization
Instead of feeding net_secret[] at boot time, defer the init
at the point first socket is created.

This permits some platforms to use better entropy sources than
the ones available at boot time.

cf533ea53e tcp: add const qualifiers where possible
Adding const qualifiers to pointers can ease code review, and spot some
bugs. It might allow compiler to optimize code further.

For example, is it legal to temporary write a null cksum into tcphdr
in tcp_md5_hash_header() ? I am afraid a sniffer could catch the
temporary null value...

6e5714eaf7 net: Compute protocol sequence numbers and fragment IDs using MD5.
Computers have become a lot faster since we compromised on the
partial MD4 hash which we use currently for performance reasons.

MD5 is a much safer choice, and is inline with both RFC1948 and
other ISS generators (OpenBSD, Solaris, etc.)

Furthermore, only having 24-bits of the sequence number be truly
unpredictable is a very serious limitation.  So the periodic
regeneration and 8-bit counter have been removed.  We compute and
use a full 32-bit sequence number.

For ipv6, DCCP was found to use a 32-bit truncated initial sequence
number (it needs 43-bits) and that is fixed here as well.
