Things like this: target: remove EXTRA_CFLAGS target: Remove unnecessary container_of() pointer check target: Remove unnecessary se_clear_dev_ports legacy code target: Remove spurious double cast from structure macro accessors target: Convert TMR REQ/RSP definitions to target namespace target: Minor sparse warning fixes and annotations target: Remove unneeded test of se_cmd Are not serious bug fixes.
