Applied, thanks.

Btw, I'd suggest instead of sending those piecemeal-wise, one per
driver, just group them all by subsystem and whatnot so that each
maintainer can pick it up and this new thing modpost decided to complain
about, can be taken care of without noodling through each driver
one-by-one.

Better yet: do a coccinelle patch and convert the whole tree.

Thx.
