The patches need to be applied for v4.18 unless you can state
a technical reason why they should go into v4.17.

Patch #1 is definitely a fix because 4.17 adds Stehpen's sparse GPIO support, but without patch #1, that support is broken.

Without patch #2, you can't register more than one TLMM device. Currently, no driver does that, so it's a fix, but not for a regression.

Patch #2 is new support.  I guess that's for 4.18 now.

Technical reasons for patches at this point means that it is
fixing a regression present in v4.17-rc1.

Impatience is sadly not a technical reason ... trust me that I
as human understand that very well, but as subsystem maintainer
I have responsibilities with regards to the process.

I understand all that, but my patches were posted on the list long before the merge window opened. I consider them part of Stephen's patch set, which was merged for 4.17.
