I've picked v2 up instead. I suspect it's not really consequential as 
enums don't really get truncated by compilers, right? Is there any other 
negative runtime side effect possible from the imprecise enum/uint 
typing?

Ok.

I'm inclined to just reduce sched/urgent back to these three fixes:

  6e1ff0773f49: sched/uclamp: Fix incorrect condition
  b90f7c9d2198: sched/pelt: Fix update of blocked PELT ordering
  ff51ff84d82a: sched/core: Avoid spurious lock dependencies

and apply v2 of the uclamp_id type fix to sched/core. This would reduce 
the risks of a Sunday pull request ...

Thanks,
