For some reason, I don't have  00/15 in my inbox or list folders, so
replying here...

I gave this series a spin through the kernelci.org build/boot bot where
it was booted on ~20 different ARM SoC families and mulitple different
defconfigs, and there were no boot failures, so it at least passes a
basic boot sanity check.

If you think it's appropriate, feel free to add :
