If you are trying to use a target v4.0 kernel then you need to
checkout the linux-4.0.y branch from the backports tree as well.

git checkout -b linux-4.0.y origin/linux-4.0.y

And try again.

But if you are trying to add new drivers, best is to just try the
master branch of backports against the latest respective linux-next
tag that backports works against, so in this case backports is at
backports-20160324, so you can set you linux-next tree to
next-20160324:

git reset --hard next-20160324

This is because contributions would go to the master branch of backports.
