This looks all fine to me, but with the merge window open right now, I
can't add it into linux-next yet, and it wouldn't qualify as a bugfix for 5.13.
Please resend them to me after -rc1 is out so I can merge it for
5.14 through the asm-generic tree.
Please add two small changes to the changelog texts:
- for patch 3, please include a 'Link: tag' to the lore archive of the
previous discussion, that should cover any questions that people
may have
- for the risc-v patch, I would suggest explaining that this fixes
an existing runtime bug, not just a compiler error:
| This is already broken, as accessing a fixed I/O port number of
| an ISA device on NOMMU RISC-V would turn into a NULL pointer
| dereference.
Feel free to either copy this, or use your own explanation.
