Yes, there are dependencies on the rest of the patches in this series.
For linux-next, I think we should pick up this series once we get more
Tested-bys.

 So if 5a46079a9645 is causing any regression in stable branches, we
should pick up the revert series [1] instead of this series we are
replying to.

Thanks!

If I'm not mistaken, the issues were reported after the series got
picked up. And the series got some tested-by s before it was picked
up. And once it's in git history, we obviously can't drop it.

Sorry for breaking some boards -- so mean "creative" corner cases :)

This rewrite is way more flexible (removes a lot of limitations in
fw_devlink) and hopefully this handles all the corner cases. We'll
see.
