I'm mostly concerned about conflicts, so if you can get the entire
series into 5.18 before the merge window is over then consider it 
acked. If it doesn't make 5.18 looks like you'd need to send patches 
1 and 2 as a PR so that both the i2c and net trees can pull it. 
Once pulled send patch 6 out to net-next. Does that make sense?
