Would it make sense to sort the patch series in such a way that bug fixes can be backported to stable/long-term versions? Are those bug you could reproduce or just something you noticed while looking into the driver?

I had a quick look at the series, and it looks fine to me, I'll try to have a proper look in the next couple of weeks. What I wonder is what's the risk of introducing some subtle bugs because of firmware differences, what device/firmware combination were you able to test?
