Otherwise the first 4 patches look like rather nice and straight forward
cleanups/fixes.
Feel free to add a Reviewed-by: Thomas Renninger <trenn@xxxxxxx>
Let me have a closer look at patch 5 and 6. I had problems getting rid of
the compiler warning, looks like you found an easy way to clean this up.
I will be back and have time for this in the beginning of next week.
On which platforms (topology) did you test this?
