series looks OK.
I'd apply this and the 4.15 version of this with two small changes.

1. switch the 2/3 and 3/3 patches position, as else we have 
   temporary situation where we have duplicate perf.1 man pages

2. do something like the following on top:

if this is OK for you.

(find-firmware remains still versioned, we could just pass the maj.min
version there as cli argument, but as it errors out quick if wrong I do
not care to much for now)
