For rest of the patches I'll look at them post-v4.5. I'm still waiting
for my first pull request containing fixes for that release to be
taken.

James, would it be possible to take the pull request containing fixes
soon that I origianally sent already in Jan and bit updated version
few days ago [1]? I still have one more pull request coming after that. It will
contain only few line changes:

* Missing put_device() in two places.
* There is a small change to ABI behavior (I'll post it
  soon) of policy sealing so I really need it for this release because
  4.5 is the first release containing this feature and I cannot change
  it when the release is tagged.

Thank you.
