What's the plan with this patch series?

Andy: I think patches #1 and #2 are all set to go.  They just seem
like nice cleanups and have no comments on them.  We're going to land
them in the Chrome OS 4.19 tree so it'd be convenient to keep things
synced up if you were able to land them too.


Stephen / Jordan: can you come to a conclusion about what you want to
do about patch #3?  Land it as-is?  Drop it?  Spin it?

...I guess to summarize the argument (correct me if I'm wrong):

Stephen would prefer it so that if the LLCC API returns an error that
clients _shouldn't_ just shrug it off.  They should treat it as an
important error.  ...but if LLCC API returns NULL then that's
something that can be ignored.  ...so if you meant to use LLCC and
you're getting back -ENODEV then you should yell about it, but if you
compile out LLCC they you won't hit your IS_ERR() and you'll be fine.
