I appreciate the patch series, thanks for doing that. I'm much less happy that this is marked as "something we must backport" and then the series starts with a patch mixing whitespace and "simplifications". Whilst I appreciate it would make it easier for you, you're breaking several different elements of the stable backport policies and hence actually actively make it harder to make case to backport it. It certainly doesn't make it easier for me, quite the opposite. Cheers, Richard
