Really?  I see a number of these only showing up in much newer kernels.
Specifically these patches:
  1f60652dd586 ("pinctrl: max77620: Use define directive for max77620_pinconf_param values")
  a0dd6773038f ("phy: tegra: remove redundant self assignment of 'map'")
  a9903f04e0a4 ("sched/sysctl: Fix attributes of some extern declarations")

from the "arm" mbox you provided.  Why shouldn't the above patches go
into 4.14.y and in some cases, also 4.19.y and 4.20.y?

thanks,
