There should not be a conflict, following commit already in tree is causing the
conflict, I was resolving it myself when testing:
Commit e716b639856c ("kni: fix crash with null name")
Basically both do same thing:
<<<<<<< IN REPO
if (name == NULL || name[0] == '\0')
return NULL;
=======
if (!name || !name[0])
return NULL;
>>>>>>> PATCH
It seems Igor has a older version of the tree. It is OK to keep the check
existing in the repo.
