So you can send a new version and Andrew can update it in place. It’s happening all the time: mostly for adding reviewed-by/acked-by tags etc, but for code updates as well. > It’s not uncommon for some patchset to mature while being in the mm tree, this allows to include them into linux-next and give some more testing, but without doing many reverts/fixups (Andrew is often squashing fixups into the original patch too). So long story short, you can just send a new version, especially because all changes all minor. Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for explaining that. I'll send out a v2 of the patches shortly, then!
