AFAIK, mostly no. There are a couple which are pure database additions, 
that I could consider upstreaming. But most are entangled with various 
other deltas that, for example, introduce new database fields, or new 
(non-standard) boot scripts, to fix an issue on a single board. The sort 
of stuff that, were I the upstream, I'd reject in a heartbeat 
(especially for hardware that I have a strong suspicion is unused 
anymore).
