Sorry I'm not convinced that linux-next testing can resolve that. It doesn't really have enough hardware/tester coverage. Also linux-next is really only for stuff that is going to be merged, and from my current perspective it's not.

I don't think it is. You keep claiming that but it's just not true. You have not so far brought up a single argument why the semaphores should be changed to completions.
