Thanks, I queued all patches for 4.15.

I also did some minor fixes to the patch #4 while merging it:

* patch summary was changed to "video: fbdev: au1200fb: Fix incorrect IRQ

* patch description was changed to silence issues reported by checkpatch.pl:

WARNING: 'succesful' may be misspelled - perhaps 'successful'?
#4: 
'au1200fb_drv_probe()' can not fail after a succesful call to

ERROR: Please use git commit description style 'commit <12+ chars of sha1> ("<title line>")' - ie: 'commit 1630d85a8312 ("au1200fb: fix hardcoded IRQ")'
#9: 
1630d85a8312 ("au1200fb: fix hardcoded IRQ")
