Not yet. Thanks for the reviews, I'll get to that today

We should have a list. Here's a rough one:

$ git diff --dirstat=lines,1 v4.10.17..dev-4.10  | sort -hr
  20.1% arch/arm/boot/dts/
  13.2% drivers/fsi/
  10.6% drivers/pinctrl/aspeed/
   6.9% drivers/hwmon/pmbus/
   6.2% drivers/net/ethernet/faraday/
   6.0% drivers/hwmon/occ/
   5.0% drivers/i2c/busses/
   4.2% drivers/mtd/spi-nor/
   3.1% drivers/hwmon/
   3.1% drivers/
   3.0% Documentation/devicetree/bindings/
   2.5% drivers/gpio/
   1.9% include/
   1.7% drivers/misc/
   1.5% drivers/iio/pressure/
   1.5% drivers/clk/aspeed/
   1.3% arch/arm/mach-aspeed/
   1.1% drivers/leds/
   1.1% arch/arm/configs/
   1.0% net/ncsi/
   1.0% drivers/tty/serial/8250/
   1.0% drivers/mailbox/
   1.0% drivers/iio/adc/

A number of these were upstreamed between 4.10 and 4.13, so we do not
require any patches to be sent.

Cheers,

Joel
