I did not aligned patches with upstream patches to make it easier for
review since you just need to compare to latest net branch. There
might be some changes in upstream code since I backported these
patches, but those should be pretty minor. If I break it down
according to upstream commits you will need to check with each
upstream patch and then compare the kernel module with net branch to
see if any commit it missing. So it is easier this way.
If you still want it to breakup patches according to the commits I can
send updated series.

Specifically about this patch, which part is not related to the commit aed069df?
