Laurentiu,

A few nits about this submission:

-every patch in the series should have had "v2" in the patch
subject. In your submission only the cover letter had it.
Without that it's harder to keep track of which version of
patch I'm looking at. Just use this when formatting your
patches:
--patch-subject="PATCH v2"

-for each patch, you should note below the "---" what changed in the
patch, and if there were no changes you put "no changes". For
an example see:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9478093/

(You can use "git notes" to manage the below the "---" comments
if it helps)

Can you reformat this series with "v3" and add the the comments
to note what did not change and what did change?

Thanks,
Stuart
