These are kCFI fixes, we don't really need them in 4.9:
> Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org> > net: ethernet: ti: Fix return type of netcp_ndo_start_xmit() > Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org> > hamradio: baycom_epp: Fix return type of baycom_send_packet() > Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org> > drm/fsl-dcu: Fix return type of fsl_dcu_drm_connector_mode_valid() > Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org> > drm/sti: Fix return type of sti_{dvo,hda,hdmi}_connector_mode_valid()
This is marked as not-for-stable, and does not fix anything really bad, just smatch warning:

This is quite wrong. Real bug is registering the interrupt before the device is set up -- it should be fixed by reordering the init code, not by checking for NULL.

This may turn working config into non-working for someone, as people now need to enable PWM manually to get fully working driver. I don't think we want it in stable.

This claims to fix a deadlock, but in turn it calls cancel_delayed_work_sync from interrupt handler. I don't think that is good idea.

This one is okay in mainline, but contains wrong error handling in the 4.9 backport. 4.19 seems okay. It needs to "goto out_unlock", not return directly.
