This patch, in a variety of forms, has been around since beginning 2016
as e756c2bb07, ending up in present form 0aa6c7df60 (kernel 4.4.13 bump)
and carried forward ever since.
There have been a number of MIPS kernel memory handling changes since,
including VDSO fixes that meant openwrt patches have been dropped with
no apparent fallout.
Simple tests (ntfs-3g) on a HIGHMEM 512MB mt7621 device have not turned
up data corruption issues which would otherwise be expected. Similarly
running on other MIPS based devices for the past 2 months hasn't turned
up anything obvious to retain this out of tree patch.
With thanks to Rosen Penev for testing on the known 'highmem' device and
Felix Fietkau for testing advice. Not putting acked-by as it's my fault
if it breaks :-)

I've sent this one upstream. This patch is critical if you want to run
with "prove lock correctness" (lockdep) and you happen to have certain
mtd devices. The misuse of the uninitialized object is undefined
behaviour, but being zeroed it does not appear to have actually broken
anything other than the lockdep engine.

This makes the patches which were just copied in the previous commit
apply on top of kernel 4.19.
The patches in the backports-4.19 folder were checked if they are really
in kernel 4.19 based on the title and only removed if they were found in
the upstream kernel.
The following additional patches form the pending folder went into
upstream Linux 4.19:
pending-4.19/171-usb-dwc2-Fix-inefficient-copy-of-unaligned-buffers.patch
pending-4.19/190-2-5-e1000e-Fix-wrong-comment-related-to-link-detection.patch
pending-4.19/478-mtd-spi-nor-Add-support-for-XM25QH64A-and-XM25QH128A.patch
pending-4.19/479-mtd-spi-nor-add-eon-en25qh32.patch
pending-4.19/950-tty-serial-exar-generalize-rs485-setup.patch
pending-4.19/340-MIPS-mm-remove-mips_dma_mapping_error.patch
Bigger changes were introduced to the m25p80 spi nor driver, as far as I
saw it in the new code, it now has the functionality provided in this
patch:
pending-4.19/450-mtd-m25p80-allow-fallback-from-spi_flash_read-to-reg.patch
Part of this patch went upstream independent of OpenWrt:
hack-4.19/220-gc_sections.patch
This patch was reworked to match the changes done upstream.
The MIPS DMA API changed a lot, this patch was rewritten to match the
new DMA handling:
pending-4.19/341-MIPS-mm-remove-no-op-dma_map_ops-where-possible.patch
I did bigger manual changes to the following patches and I am not 100% sure if they are all correct:
pending-4.19/0931-w1-gpio-fix-problem-with-platfom-data-in-w1-gpio.patch
pending-4.19/411-mtd-partial_eraseblock_write.patch
pending-4.19/600-netfilter_conntrack_flush.patch
pending-4.19/611-netfilter_match_bypass_default_table.patch
pending-4.19/670-ipv6-allow-rejecting-with-source-address-failed-policy.patch
hack-4.19/211-host_tools_portability.patch
hack-4.19/221-module_exports.patch
hack-4.19/321-powerpc_crtsavres_prereq.patch
hack-4.19/902-debloat_proc.patch
