I was hoping to get them into the 5.4 fixes branch: I consider them all fixes - the rework of the eMMC pin groups and functions is a fix for the binding. The rest are fixes for the driver itself. My preference is that they get into a release sooner rather than later.

It's there something that makes you think they shouldn't be merged as fixes for 5.4?

IMO all of them should go into 5.4, as above. It's there something I can do in the future to communicate this better? Explicit shortlist in the cover letter? Fixes tags on the relevant patches? Keen to make things easier/more obvious if I can.
