I think you meant to swap above two comments ?
That's what I did while applying.

Also fixed typo in Fixes tag in patch 13. It was missing a letter in sha.

Since there are 3 other pending patchsets in patchwork that add new kfuncs
this cleanup of kfunc registration couldn't have come at better time.

Thank you for doing this work.
