Hi!

Here are the manual backports for the upcoming 4.4-st46 and 4.4-cip81 releases that should be reviewed and that can currently be found in
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cip/linux-cip.git/log/?h=linux-4.4.y-st-rc

As always, most only required small context adjustments:

Slightly more involved:

There are also a bunch of reverts fixing build failures in non-CIP configurations:
