I honestly don't know where you should send these patches. I've CC'd
Colin Cross who works on Android in case he can clue us in. I assume
there's a Gerrit instance somewhere for Android that you need to push
these into...

Laxman, can you please check if any of these patches should be applied
to our internal/downstream kernels?

Jeremy, do patches 3 or 4 need to be applied to the mainline kernel? It
may be useful for you to resend those directly to the relevant upstream
subsystem maintainers, after rebasing them onto the latest upstream
code. See Documentation/SubmittingPatches in the mainline kernel.

Thanks for the contributions!
