This series hasn't been applied to driver-core-next AFAICS and the
merge window is drawing closer.

So far only patches 1, 2 and 5 have been ack'ed by the respective
subsystem maintainers.  If the missing acks are the reason it hasn't
been applied, would it be possibe to apply only 1, 2 and 5?

I would then resubmit the other ones individually to the subsystem
maintainers in the next cycle.

Thanks!

Lukas
