This series is intermixing random improvements and bug-fixes during the
middle of a merge window, and I've asked multiple times now that
bug-fixes for existing mainline code must always precede anything else.

This is important because:

  - To know which bug-fixes are for existing code, instead of bug-fixes
    that are a consequence of other changes.
  - To know bug-fixes for existing code have been tested + verified 
    separate from any other changes.

For the former, every series I've gotten from you in the last six months
has had at least one patch that is a bug-fix for some issue the series
itself introduced, and it's never been obvious.

Doing a quick scan, I see the same thing happening in this series.

So please send me only the bug-fixes for existing code to review as
v4.12-rc items, and put else in a separate series for v4.13-rc1.
