In general you are missing commit messages that explain why the patch is 
needed -- what does it do, what is changed. The code should evolve from 
where it is to where you want it to be in small focused patches that do 
not break compiles or features (important for git-bisect).

For patches that you are leveraging from Jiri odds are they need to be 
updated for what has happened over the past year since Jiri's last 
effort on this. I suggest doing the updates in line with Jiri's patch 
and add a comment of what was added to Jiri's patch.

Also add Namhyung Kim <namhyung@...nel.org> to your CC list.

Thanks,
David
