No, if they work for you and Hans both I have 100% trust in you
guys so just send me a big pull request for all of it for v5.5.
Besides Torvalds is talking about an -rc8 this next weekend.

Please base your pull request on my "devel" branch though,
since I already applied some of the patches (sorry for the mess!)

We can certainly hash out any remaining nits during the v5.5
kernel cycle.

Yours,
