These are literally 3 patches that are self explanatory. Is this a hard and fast rule that a cover letter MUST be there?

Sure, I’ll take care of that.

BTW, a found a typo:

+ static const struct fourcc_struct try_ch = {
+ 0x41424344, "ABCD (0x41424344)",
+ };
+ struct const struct fourcc_struct try_cr = {
+ 0x41424344, "DCBA (0x44434241)",
+ };
+ static const struct fourcc_struct try_cl = {
+ le32_to_cpu(0x41424344), "ABCD (0x41424344)",
+ };
+ struct const struct fourcc_struct try_cb = {
+ be32_to_cpu(0x41424344), "ABCD (0x41424344)",
+ };

Mistyped struct instead of static. Will fix in v4.
