Apologies, I didn't realize you were waiting on these until seeing this
WC report. I sent an extremely tiny reroll

    https://lore.kernel.org/git/cover.1779206239.git.me@ttaylorr.com/

that addresses the two outstanding comments you linked. They are very
minor changes, and queueing either version of the series would be
equally fine IMHO.

Thanks,
Taylor
