I'd think these Tested-by should be dropped. We changed the patch quite
a bit meanwhile and I am quite sure Shimoda-san didn't test this new
version of the patch. Dunno about Shawn. Hopefully they have time to
re-test?

Very minor nit: I'd remove this empty line and merge the two paragraphs.

Very good! I like this a lot.

Also minor nit, but likely better readable:

		OOR_with_open_end = val & R1_OUT_OF_RANGE && !brq->mrq.sbc;

		if (val && !OOR_with_open_end)

...

I am not super strict with the 80 char limit and think one line is
better readable, but I leave that to you and/or Ulf.

Other than that minor stuff:
