Is this a problem? It won't break any builds as patch 17 depends on
CONFIG_MULTIPLEXER, which doesn't exist yet. I'm fine with merging the
two patches, though.

I have no idea. v15 of the multiplexer framework patchset was posted on
2017-05-14, is still waiting for comments.

Seconded, and not that I can tell.
