You have a lot of information here, but it's hard to sift through it properly. Some of the patches you list here have already been merged in stable releases, so adding them again is odd :)
Yeah I guess some have been merged for say other than v4.9 and are not in v4.9 because of various reasons.
Can you just send a series of patches that you think should be merged based on these commits?
Yes that is a good idea, because if something is already there and/or not mergeing etc, I will surely notice.
The other point of the mail is to get feedback from people on CC whether they agree these are commits that would be good for stable, so I guess I prepare a bunch of backports, wait a little and then send a patch train for v4.9.x.

Linus,
Regarding:
PCI breakage on cns3xxx:
100-arm-cns3xxx-fix-writing-to-wrong-PCI-registers-after.patch 101-arm-cns3xxx-use-actual-size-reads-for-PCIe.patch Upstream commits 65dbb423cf28232fed1732b779249d6164c5999b "ARM: cns3xxx: Fix writing to wrong PCI config registers after alignment" 432dd7064aa1c030a488745917cfa4ebc6c8c060 "ARM: cns3xxx: Use actual size reads for PCIe" Merged in v5.0-rc5
These 2 can be skipped.
It was agreed with Bjorn Helgaas to only submit ("100-arm-cns3xxx-fix-writing-to-wrong-PCI-registers-after.patch") to stable, and it has already been merged there.
The 2nd one ("101-arm-cns3xxx-use-actual-size-reads-for-PCIe.patch") is considered to be a cleanup.
Regards,
Koen
