Point taken for making it reproducible. I just like to raise awareness:
The maintainers are very busy. They have a full time job, respond to the
mailing list, review patches and do all the git magic. That keeps them
pretty busy, so I would aim to make the maintainers life as easy as possible.
Checking just one patch against some sources can be quicker/easier than
checking multiple ones. Same goes for applying patches.
Other than that, I just feel strong about the third patch standing separate,
which I don't regard a good idea. Either your script should have been
extended to catch such cases, or if it is not worth the effort, it should
have been changed by hand. But it should have gone in one pass.

I just gave it a try compile testing:
fprintf(stderr, "Problem reading scan element information\n"
"diag %s\n", dev_dir_name);
Compiled just fine, and the same format is used in your second patch as well.

I thought about the case when stdout gets piped to a data file while stderr
goes into a logfile (or an application reads one data stream while checking
the error stream).
