Michael, I don't see a dependency of the later patches on 2/4, so I'd
like to split that one out of this series and reiterate.

I'll have some minor comments on the rest.

Don, in general please do not end subjects with a dot.

CC'ing Eduardo and Igor who looked into 4G issues previously.

Regards,
Andreas
