Mark, since most of my review remarks are small(ish) I expect
the next version of this (except patch 8/9) to be ready for
merging.

I can either merge all patches on top of 5.17-rc1 once released;
and provide an immutable-branch for you to merge for the SPI
bits; or you can merge patches 1-4 (the SPI patches) and then
send me a pull-req for an immutable-branch with those 4,
so that I can merge that and then the rest on top.

Mark, please let me know how you want to proceed with merging this.

Regards,

Hans
