Hi Greg,

Thanks for your feedback! I'm not sure what you mean by "a format they
can be applied in", I'm guessing as three emails, with a single patch
each?

As for the issues that you mention, I'm guessing you mean applying v4
of Miguel's patches as found here (
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10501163/, 
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10507009/) rather than v3 as I did
here (I didn't notice there was a v4 fixing those issues, and reading
the previous messages in this thread I assumed they weren't considered
blocking. Or is there a problem left with v4 of the patches? There
doesn't seem to be any replies to the messages from 2 years ago)

Sorry for all my questions, I'm totally new to all this process...

Cheers
