Hi Alan,

couple of nits inline and some comments on ordering the patches ;-)

According for the current ordering bridges are not yet defined if we
merge patches in this order?
Not terrible imho, but I thought I'd point it out. Would swapping the
order make sense?

I also think [5/10] should be squashed together with this commit to
make it an atomic change.

Apart from my comments above feel free to add my Acked-by

Thanks for keeping this going,

Moritz
