FWIW, I ran into another bug on -next when trying to update this.

Report:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200811204729.1116341-1-ndesaulniers@google.com/
Fix:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200814212525.6118-1-john.ogness@linutronix.de/T/#t

Then I got bogged down in planning for plumbers and other fires. I
hope to revisit the series after plumbers.
