Vladimir is right, this is a strange way to post things. In the future
please send just the "net" changes first and include a note in the
cover letter or under "---" saying something like "cleanup of XYZ is
left for a followup in -next".

I've applied patch 1 please resend the cleanup after net->net-next
merge (~Friday).

Thanks!
