I love these patchsets which are removing the HAL layer, but it would
be better if you folded patches 1 and 2 together because it would be
easier to review.  That way we can just say "Well, if this patch isn't
correct it will cause a compile error so let's assume it's correct
unless the kbuild-bot complains."

There are other pairs in this patchset which are the same way where they
would be easier to review if they were merged. 3 & 4.  5 & 6.  Etc.

The patcheset is fine but for future reference please fold them together.
