Ok.
Please consider to include "[PATCH v5 04/16] include/grub/misc.h: Fix
edge case in grub_uuidcasecmp()" [1], which is a bugfix for existing
code.
Should I send it separately?

I think it makes sense to fold some patches together, so that if any of
distro maintainers would like to include this functionality, they would
not need to deal with so many patches.
