The 5.18 merge window has closed and we're in fixes-only mode. If there's a case to be made that these patches are needed by 5.18 users then please let's make that case. Otherwise, this is 5.19-rc1 material. And if it is indeed all 5.19-rc1 material, then please carry all four in the powerpc tree with Acked-by: Andrew Morton . Also, [4/4] has a cc:stable. This is a bit odd because -stable candidates should be standalone patches, staged ahead of all for-next-merge-window material, so we can get them merged up quickly. More oddly, [4/4]'s changelog provides no explanation for why the patch should be considered for backporting.
