I queued patches #1-4 for v4.16, thanks.

This one introduces new compile time warning:

drivers/video/fbdev/udlfb.c: In function ‘dlfb_init_framebuffer_work’:
drivers/video/fbdev/udlfb.c:1694:24: warning: ignoring return value of ‘device_create_bin_file’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result]
  device_create_bin_file(info->dev, &edid_attr);
                        ^

Checking of device_create_bin_file()'s return value should not be removed,

[ ditto for device_create_file() ]

Also please fix the new comment introduced by the patch:

+               /* parent device is used otherwise*/

[  ...e*/ -> ...e */ ]
