Hey Tim, the patches look good to me so is the backport.
The only thing I noticed is that, for patch 2, we have this small fix:
git.kernel.org/linus/0bf1bafb17df

Should we include it here as well? It's unfortunate that this fix
doesn't contain a Fixes tag, not sure why...

Let me know your thoughts - if we're leaving this small fix out, I can
ACK this series.

Cheers,


Guilherme
