Sorry, I lost track of these patches. 

These look reasonable enough. Are they making their way upstream? I
don't see them in linux-next currently. Since they move a couple of
files they will be a headache to carry as sauce patches long term,
however if they will be upstream reasonably soon then it's probably okay
to carry them for eoan.

Thanks,
Seth
