Sorry for that. The initial idea was to show all the changes but merge
the binding and dependencies first, so didn't cc all.

Yes this was initially posted as part of the series, but only
dependencies were merged for v4.4

Not a brand new binding, but made existing one a standard so that we
don't continue to be creative and generate more bindings for the same
thing. Yes binding and dependent patches are already in mainline. And
yes backward compatibility is maintained as mentioned in the commit
