The patches look basically ok, but two points to remember:
* The merge window is not the time to post patches for review, if you want to collect Acked-by's from other people, do that in the time between the merge windows, then put the patches in your git tree with the Acked-by for linux-next. During the merge window, just send stuff that was already in your tree to Linus.
Bug fixes should get sent to Linus at any time, but I think you already did that, all of these were either new features or cleanups.
* Add a small text explaining why you do something to each patch. The one-line summary that you always have is too short for this and only serves to list what you change, not why.
