Kernel prepatch 7.1-rc5

The 7.1-rc5 kernel prepatch is out fortesting. Quoth Linus:

I'm not entirely happy about it - most of this is totally trivialstuff to random drivers, which obviously makes it all less scary,but at the same time I'm really not convinced the churn is worth itat rc5 time. These things are "fixes", sure, but at the same time alot of them are simply so irrelevant that I think they'd be betteroff in a linux-next tree and get merged during the merge window.

So I think I'll start being a bit more hardnosed about this kind ofunnecessary churn this late in the game. We are supposed to lookfor *regressions*. Non-critical fixes to long-standing issues aresimply not appropriate for this late in the release cycle.

End result: this is too big, and this is the heads-up that I'll bepushing back on pointless pull requests with fixes that just aren'tthat important. And yes, several of these series were triggered byAI code review.
