Thanks so much for this work. I think I've gotten most of these for 4.9, 4.4, and 3.18, I've emailed about the ones that didn't apply. > Getting changes into android-common and/or various SOC's BSP kernels > is left as an exercise to the reader. android-common syncs with the lts stable releases, so they should get picked up by the SoC BSP kernels that way. As long as your SoC company is sane... thanks, greg k-h
