Sorry, David. These two series are just backports for stable of patches
that are already in mainline. Git added you to CC because of your SoB
on the patches, but I don't think there's anything for you to do.

The 2-patch series is for 4.9-stable kernels.
The 8-patch series is for 4.4-stable kernels, and it's bigger because
there are missing dependencies in 4.4-stable.

I did call this out in the cover letters but, of course, you weren't CC'd
on those. Duh. Anyway, sorry again for the noise.
