Hi Geert,

Many thanks for the series upgrade.
A few static-analysis findings below (could be false positives).

s/aggr->lookups/aggr->lookups->dev_id/ ?

gcc 9.2.1:
warning: âflagsâ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

gcc 9.2.1, same as above:
warning: âflagsâ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

Should these be silenced like in 2bf593f101f3ca ("xilinx_uartps.c:
suppress "may be used uninitialised" warning") ?

I plan to do some runtime testing soon.
