As it came up a little bit late (the same day I sent pull request for
4.21), I was considering it as 4.22 material.  But as you mentioned that
the series is non-intrusive, I can try to send it to arm-soc folk for
4.21 merge window, and then that will be their call.  But before I do
it, I need you to double confirm that the series will not break anything
that is already working.
