The patch in there which is by me changes one line simply cleans up a patch which went in during the 4.19 merge cycle. So it would be nice to have it added now before v4.19 gets released. The other two patches are trivial and just remove dead code. I rate them all as non-critical, but nice-to-have-in-v4.19. If you disagree I'm absolutely fine to wait with all of them for the next merge window. Thanks! Helge
