2/2 is just updating the fb documentation:
[PATCH 2/2] docs: fb: Add font_6x8 to available built-in fonts
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/717bb41dda8e2ed615f3faadfbc3e215de726d38.1603037079.git.yepeilin.cs@xxxxxxxxx/
I did `git format-patch -2 --thread=deep`, did I do something wrong when
sending it?
Thank you,
