The above three points can be done separately and I don't care about
this too much.

This is what this patch does. And in fact, I have real hardware which
needs this patch to be useful and on which I can test if this works.

I think you're just adding completely orthogonal stuff to this 5-liner
patch into the list and overly complicate the situation. Sure, if you
want to do all this, go ahead, but I don't see how this prevents this
particular patch from being applied , except maybe for the documentation
tweak.
