The patches look basically ok, but two points to remember:

* The merge window is not the time to post patches for review, if you
  want to collect Acked-by's from other people, do that in the
  time between the merge windows, then put the patches in your git
  tree with the Acked-by for linux-next. During the merge window, just
  send stuff that was already in your tree to Linus.

  Bug fixes should get sent to Linus at any time, but I think you already
  did that, all of these were either new features or cleanups.

* Add a small text explaining why you do something to each patch. The
  one-line summary that you always have is too short for this and only
  serves to list what you change, not why.
