We're at 5.18-rc1. The 5.18 merge window has closed and we're in fixes-only mode.
If there's a case to be made that these patches are needed by 5.18 users then please let's make that case. Otherwise, this is 5.19-rc1 material.
And if it is indeed all 5.19-rc1 material, then please carry all four in the powerpc tree with Acked-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>.
Also, [4/4] has a cc:stable. This is a bit odd because -stable candidates should be standalone patches, staged ahead of all for-next-merge-window material, so we can get them merged up quickly.
More oddly, [4/4]'s changelog provides no explanation for why the patch should be considered for backporting.
