Purely for my information:

Testing on a lot of devices here shows a huge improvement towards stability.
Is it possible to get it merged sooner?
Does "queued for 5.1" also mean that backporting to stables only will happen
at 5.1_rc1 release?
Yes, I will ask Bjorn if we can send them for one of the upcoming -rc*
(so effectively you will get them in v5.0 and propagated to stable
earlier), I do not think it is that urgent either though, let me handle
that.
We can take them through the soc tree if that's easier, but
going through Bjorn's tree is also fine.
I have the following on my for-linus branch and I'll ask Linus to pull them
this week, so they will appear in v5.0:

  b8b592a3a8d1 ARM: cns3xxx: use actual size reads for PCIe
  b3a32f359397 ARM: cns3xxx: fix writing to wrong PCI registers after alignment
Ok, thanks!

Neither is currently marked for stable, but I'll add that if you like.
Yes, I think that would be good, along with

Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Added, thanks!

Actually I was mistaken: the "use actual size reads" patch *was* marked for
stable, but the "fix writing" one was not.  I suspect this was intended to
be the other way around because AFAIK the "fix writing" patch fixes
problems and it makes sense to put it in stable, while the "use actual size
reads" patch is more of a cleanup and I don't think there's a benefit to
putting *it* in stable.

So I added your ack to both and marked only the "fix writing" patch for stable.

Bjorn
