I took another look as well and everything seems fine. I had expected
that I would merge it into the asm-generic tree first and did not bother
sending a separate Reviewed-by tag, but I agree that it's best if you
create the branch.

Can you add 'Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>'
to each patch and send me a pull request for a v5 tag so we can
merge that into both the riscv and the asm-generic trees?
