+Subject: [PATCH 06/10] net/mlx5: Add pci shutdown callback
+
+Backport of commit 5fc7197d3a256 ("net/mlx5: Add pci shutdown callback")
+so we can use for the OpenPower kernel.
+
+This patch introduces kexec support for mlx5.
+When switching kernels, kexec() calls shutdown, which unloads
+the driver and cleans its resources.
+
+In addition, remove unregister netdev from shutdown flow. This will
+allow a clean shutdown, even if some netdev clients did not release their
+reference from this netdev. Releasing The HW resources only is enough as
+the kernel is shutting down

+Subject: [PATCH 07/10] powerpc/boot: Add OPAL console to epapr wrappers
+
+This patch adds an OPAL console backend to the powerpc boot wrapper so
+that decompression failures inside the wrapper can be reported to the
+user. This is important since it typically indicates data corruption in
+the firmware and other nasty things.
+
+Currently this only works when building a little endian kernel. When
+compiling a 64 bit BE kernel the wrapper is always build 32 bit to be
+compatible with some 32 bit firmwares. BE support will be added at a
+later date. Another limitation of this is that only the "raw" type of
+OPAL console is supported, however machines that provide a hvsi console
+also provide a raw console so this is not an issue in practice.

+Subject: [PATCH 09/10] tty/hvc: Use IRQF_SHARED for OPAL hvc consoles
+
+Commit 2def86a7200c
+("hvc: Convert to using interrupts instead of opal events")
+enabled the use of interrupts in the hvc_driver for OPAL platforms.
+However on machines with more than one hvc console, any console after
+the first will fail to register an interrupt handler in
+notifier_add_irq() since all consoles share the same IRQ number but do
+not set the IRQF_SHARED flag:
+
+[   51.179907] genirq: Flags mismatch irq 31. 00000000 (hvc_console) vs.
+00000000 (hvc_console)
+[   51.180010] hvc_open: request_irq failed with rc -16.
+
+This error propagates up to hvc_open() and the console is closed, but
+OPAL will still generate interrupts that are not handled, leading to
+rcu_sched stall warnings.
+
+Set IRQF_SHARED when calling request_irq, allowing additional consoles
+to start properly. This is only set for consoles handled by
+hvc_opal_probe(), leaving other types unaffected.

-Subject: [PATCH 2/7] Revert "usb: xhci: stop everything on the first call to
- xhci_stop"
-
-This reverts commit 8c24d6d7b09deee3036ddc4f2b81b53b28c8f877.
-
-With this patch, the driver stops everything at the first call to
-xhci_stop, which is always for the secondary HCD when executing the
-.remove handler. We instead want to only stop when the primray HCD is
-shutting down.
