That's the problem right there.  You aren't working on a tree that is
actually based on the Linux kernel upstream tree.  Merging into this
tree is going to be an impossible task, as you have found out :(

Please work with the company who gave you this tree to rebase it on top
of the community tree in order to resolve this issue.

good luck,
