This looks great, all applied. Please make the fixups recommended
to you in the feedback as followon patches.
Also, I added the following cure after your patch series:
net: compat: No need to define IFHWADDRLEN and IFNAMSIZ twice.
It's defined colloqually in linux/if.h and linux/compat.h
includes that.
