Hi Marc,

Did not care much about the bugfixes order this time as the patches
themselves will not apply cleanly (or at all) to -stable due to the
addition of UsbCAN-II code, which all -stable kernels do not have.
Thus I guess I'll need to submit a different patch series for -stable
with patches 1, 2, and 5 -- rebased.

Nonetheless, you're correct that having the bugfixes (1,2,5), then the
optimization (4), then the janitorial fix (3) is the logical order for
history & bisection sake. So.. I'll re-order the patches, individually
test with the new order, and re-submit over can/testing.

Thanks,
Darwish
