This patch series brings in IOSM driver bug fixes. Patch details are
explained below.

PATCH1:
 * stop sending unnecessary doorbell in IP tx flow.
PATCH2:
 * set tx queue len.
PATCH3:
 * Restore the IP channel configuration after fw flash.
PATCH4:
 * Release data channel if there is no active IP session.
PATCH5:
 * Removes dead code.
PATCH6:
 * Removed the unnecessary check around control port TX transfer.
PATCH7:
 * Correct open parenthesis alignment to fix checkpatch warning.

Are any of these fixing functional bugs which users may encounter?

Looks like at least patches 1, 3, and 6 may be?

Right 1, 3, & 6 are fixes. 
2, 4 are improvement and 5 & 7 are cleanup.

All the fixes for bugs should have Fixes tags and be posted against the
netdev/net tree with [PATCH net] in the subject (meaning a separate series).
If there are dependencies between cleanups and fixes - you'll need to defer
the cleanups for a few days, until net is merged into net-next. It usually
happens every Thursday.

There is no dependency b/w batches.
I will break into 2 patch series and submit fixes to netdev/net tree & improvement/cleanups into netdev/net-next tree.
