I suggest nobody uses that kernel.

That tree does not make much sense to me. For example, what's the
purpose of "kernel: Provide READ_ONCE and ASSIGN_ONCE" (commit
230fa253df6352af12ad0a16128760b5cb3f92df upstream) without actually
using the added macros (this commit was only a prerequisite)?

Ok, not that bad, it is only unused code, but why are *not* these in the
security tree?
ipr: Fix out-of-bounds null overwrite
Input: powermate - fix oops with malicious USB descriptors
rapidio/rionet: fix deadlock on SMP

thanks,
