Hi Lorenzo, Bjorn, and all, Do you need more ACKs? Currently Michael and Haiyang reviewed and ack'd the patchset.
Should I send a v4 that just removes the "CC: stable@vger.kernel.org" tag for patches 1, 2, 4 and 5? I tend to avoid a v4 as I supppose it would be easier if you just remove the tags if you belive it's necessary (IMHO all the 6 paches are not big and it would be great if we can have all of them in the old stable kernels, but I respect your decision).
I think you need a v4 since for patches that are actually fixing a bug I want a Fixes: tag added and I want them to be applicable independently of other patches in the series. Send them in a separate series if you prefer - I just want to make sure they apply independently.
As for marking patches for stable kernels, I do not think it is right to send cosmetic churn to stable kernels anyway, at least that's my reading of the policy.
You can easily post a v4 with patches reshuffled - I will apply them accordingly.
Before re-posting please read this to improve formatting (I can do it for you but while at it you can do it yourself):
