This series has been applied to 4.13-rc, thanks.

FWIW Leon, if you have a series, even if it's a short 2 patch series, I
prefer a cover letter.  It doesn't need to be long, and can just be
something like "I have two bug fixes for rxe in this series", but I
dislike responding to a patch and saying I applied a series.
