You seem to be sending this stuff to Greg. Do you wan to have to included in some particular stable branch? Which one? Why? Some of these patches are clean ups, not a really important fixes.

I did send cover letter https://www.spinics.net/lists/stable/msg165892.html but forgot to update the Subject line of the individual patches in this series. So they don't explicitly mention that they are targeted for stable-4.9. Sorry for the confusion. I cherry-picked these patches from Lede source tree https://github.com/lede-project/source and they seemed reasonable enough for stable-4.9. But I'll take your word if they are indeed stable material or not. Thanks. Regards, Amit Pundir

Are the cleanups needed for the "important fixes" that happen later in the patch series? If not, why would they be in the repo that Amit pulled these from? Do those developers just blindly backport stuff in? (might be true, don't know who they are...) thanks, greg k-h
