Things like this:

target: remove EXTRA_CFLAGS
target: Remove unnecessary container_of() pointer check
target: Remove unnecessary se_clear_dev_ports legacy code
target: Remove spurious double cast from structure macro accessors
target: Convert TMR REQ/RSP definitions to target namespace
target: Minor sparse warning fixes and annotations
target: Remove unneeded test of se_cmd

Are not serious bug fixes.  I could go either way on some of the error path changes.
