JFYI, I have fixed the typos, updated the commit message for
the 1st patch and pushed all into printk.git,
branch for-4.16-console-waiter-logic, see
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk.git/log/?h=for-4.16-console-waiter-logic

I know that the discussion is not completely finished but it is
somehow cycling. Sergey few times wrote that he would not block
these patches. It is high time, I put it into linux-next. I could
always remove it if decided in the discussion.

Best Regards,
Petr
