I'm happy to pick up the whole series.  There are some more mfd
header changes in patch 2 but as they only add defines, I
don't mind that much if I don't an Ack from you on those
(btw this got to V3 but as patch 1 didn't change I'll carry
your ack forwards).

Do you want an immutable branch?  Seems unlikely to cause
much trouble even if there is a merge issue on all 10ish
lines of mfd code in the next merge window.
