I'm wondering why did you put 2 patches in one series?
 [1] https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/489307/
 [2] https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/489306/

I'd say these 2 patches solve completely different problems and so
should be posted as 2 separate patches compared to your [PATCH 1/2],
[PATCH 2/2].

The problem with series patches within series could not be applied
separately, that means chances are you may not get either applied
because:
 a) At least one patch could not be accepted by maintainer
 b) At least one patch required rework

So in case of (a) you'll need to resend appropriate patch separately
and in case of (b) you'll need to resend all patches in the series even
if only one patch was modified.

As for this one I really like it. IMHO problem and solution are very
valid.

The only note this patch won't apply clean on current master due to
recent changes in "package/pkg-kconfig.mk". I.e. rebase is required
now.

Please rebase this patch on top of the current master and resend this
patch (preferably separately from another patch of the current series).

Feel free to add:
