I reviewed this series and left some comments.

Before remove the RFC tag, please check that all the commit messages 
contains the right information.

Also, I recommend you take a look on how the other commits in the Linux 
tree are written because the commits in this series look like todo 
lists.
For RFC could be fine, but for the final version it would be better to 
rewrite them following the advice written here: 
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst

Thanks,
Stefano
