We're at 5.18-rc1.  The 5.18 merge window has closed and we're in
fixes-only mode.

If there's a case to be made that these patches are needed by 5.18
users then please let's make that case.  Otherwise, this is 5.19-rc1 material.

And if it is indeed all 5.19-rc1 material, then please carry all four
in the powerpc tree with Acked-by: Andrew Morton
<akpm@linux-foundation.org>.

Also, [4/4] has a cc:stable.  This is a bit odd because -stable
candidates should be standalone patches, staged ahead of all
for-next-merge-window material, so we can get them merged up quickly.

More oddly, [4/4]'s changelog provides no explanation for why the patch
should be considered for backporting.
