Thanks! I have the same expectation for the channel path handling part.

Beside the fixes for former comments form you and Alex, I will also do
the following stuff in the next version:
1. Remove the "RFC" tag from the mail subject.
2. Cc the s390 CIO layer maintainers for patch 1 and 2:
    Sebastian Ott <seb...@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
    Peter Oberparleiter <ober...@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
3. For the new created files, update MAINTAINERS by adding:
S390 VFIO-CCW DRIVER

L:      linux-s...@vger.kernel.org
