The order of applying the changes should be:
1. [PATCH v2] trace-cmd: Check if file version is supported
  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-devel/20210419093156.200099-1-tz.stoyanov@xxxxxxxxx/
2. [PATCH 0/6] Bump trace file version
 https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-devel/20210422071718.483383-1-tz.stoyanov@xxxxxxxxx/
3. [POC PATCH 00/10] Add trace file compression
 https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-devel/20210422073902.484953-1-tz.stoyanov@xxxxxxxxx/

I wrote these dependencies in the cover-letters.  BTW, I do not see
(2) in patchwork, only in the mailing list.
I'll send v2 of "Bump trace file version" including (1) in the patchset.
