For simple conflicts (like these) the easiest thing to do is just provide
lore URLs to my notifications:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231218170015.6018162e@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231218170547.5714468f@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

for more complex cases, you might want to do the merge with Linus' tree in a
temporary branch of your tree and add a note pointing that out in case Linus
wants to check his own resolutions against yours.
