These show that these two files had some conflicts in the contents from the 
kernel and your local branch

Nothing - its asking you to manually resolve the conflict.

Take a look in these two files - you should see conflict markers of the form
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 
some content
================
some other content

which is the contents that failed from your side and the new version of the 
kernel you pulled in.

Edit so the files have sensible content

then use

git update-index <filename>

to tell git that that particular conflict has been resolved.


When you have done that for both files

just do 

git commit
