Have you been able to test these patches so that you know they work? And can you please send them as a patch series, not as attachments, and cc: all the original authors so that everyone can know what is going on and weigh in if they see any issues? And finally, do not change the changelog text from the original commits, that's not ok. If you need to put any notes in there as to what you did, follow the format we have been using for years, and put it in the s-o-b: area in a small [ box ] Same for the 4.14 patches. thanks, greg k-h
