All patches have a blessing by at least one of William and Jonathan.
The prerequisite commit (60f07e74f86b) is in Greg's char-misc-next branch.

Assuming noone still finds a problem in this series that requires me to
respin I wonder who will pick it up? Greg?

Given that it fixes a possible use-after-free in all counter drivers,
I'd like to see it hit before v5.17-rc1. For 5.16 it's probably too
late.

Best regards
Uwe
