Hi Uwe,

I like these changes and they all look good to me.
However, I have a question, perhaps more directed at the netdev
maintainers than yourself.

In principle patch-sets for netdev should not include more than 15 patches.
It's unclear to me if, on the basis of that, this patchset should
be split up. Or if, f.e. given the simple nature of the patches,
an exception applies in this case. Or something else.

I have no fixed opinion on this.
But I feel that the question should be asked.
