Hi Jens,

I have technical problem to send patches via email this time, please
consider to pull the bcache changes from my bcache tree. They can be
applied on top of your for-5.18/drivers branch.

We have 2 patches for Linux v5.18, both of them are from Mingzhe Zou.
The first patch improves bcache initialization speed by avoid
unnecessary cost of cache consistency, the second one fixes a potential
NULL pointer deference in bcache initialization time,

Please take them for Linux v5.18, thanks in advance.
