Merge tag 'v4.12-rc5' into for-4.13/block
We've already got a few conflicts and upcoming work depends on some of the
changes that have gone into mainline as regression fixes for this series.
Pull in 4.12-rc5 to resolve these conflicts and make it easier on down stream
trees to continue working on 4.13 changes.
