The memleak patch was a fix and it's on its way to the current 5.4-rc
releases - therefore it was merged into the net tree. Your set adds
support for a new bus, and will go into the net-next tree.

It'd be best if you reposted once the net tree was merged into the
net-next tree (which usually happens every week or two). If you'd
rather not wait you need to rebase on top of the current net-next tree,
and maintainers will handle the conflicts.
