Changes since v1:
* Removed signoff from Rob and Erik.

For the future: please do not resend your patchset immediately but give
reviewers time to have a look at it.

Your current patchset comprises of only 3 patches - now imagine if it
were, 15, or 20 or more? Now also imagine if you were not the only one
submitter who would resend immediately... you'd soon have maintainers
drowning in email - not that they don't do so already anyway.

While waiting, you could read

Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst

Sorry for the trouble. I will keep it in mind for next submission.


for example.

Thx.
