Those look reasonable enough to me.  Modulo the buglink being merged in:

Acked-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw at canonical.com>

I do wonder if given that linux-oem on any specific series is not going
to be expected to upgrade to linux-oem on the next series, whether the
meta-packages for linux-oem should in future contain the series.  This
would be similar to the linux-hwe ones and for all the same reasons.
