This lone patch of the series is just cosmetic, but patch 14/16 fixes
a real boot issue:
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/619
Miguel, I'd like to get that one landed ASAP; the rest are just for consistency.

Thanks!
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux.git/commit/?h=for-next/core&id=80d838122643a09a9f99824adea4b4261e4451e6

Miguel, how do you want to take the rest of these patches? Will picked
up the arm64 one, I think the SuperH one got picked up. There was
feedback to add more info to individual commits' commit messages.
I kept these tree wide changes separate to improve the likelihood that
they'd backport to stable cleanly, but could always squash if you'd
prefer to have 1 patch instead of a series. Just let me know.
