OK, that's where the confusion stems from. The original patch 6/6 had in
the patch:

Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> (maintainer:TRACING)
Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@xxxxxxxxx> (maintainer:TRACING)

But I neither I nor Frederic were on the actual Cc (I had to open my
LKML folder to see it). Perhaps whatever tool you used to send the
patches got confused by the (maintainer:TRACING) line.

Thus, the only thing that ended up in my INBOX was the [PATCHv2.5] one.
