Since the patches in this series are independent one from each other,
please break the series on a per subsystem basis. The patch 3 & 4 should
target the net-next tree. It will simplify maintainers life (and yours).

Also please note:

## Form letter - net-next-closed

The merge window for v6.13 has begun and net-next is closed for new
drivers, features, code refactoring and optimizations. We are currently
accepting bug fixes only.

Please repost when net-next reopens after Dec 2nd.

RFC patches sent for review only are welcome at any time.
