Can we have those patches applied to the nfs tree? According to the
udev/kobject maintainer it is fine to take this in any tree that it
needs to go through. [0]
I made nfs as a first user of these new udev helpers functionality, so
it should go through the nfs tree if there are no other issues with
this series?

Thanks.
