I have only sent what I thought is appropriate for 4.18 (cleanup/features
will be sent separately):
* 5 bug fixes (1-5/7)
* 1 update the maintainer list (7/7)
* 1 update to the comment to prevent checkpatch from complaining (6/7)
If you think any patch is unsuitable to 4.18 - please say which.
Thanks,
Nadav
