So that was my intent - to have these three separate patches:

"kcov: refactor common handle ID into kcov_common_handle_id"
"kcov: allow simultaneous KCOV_ENABLE/KCOV_REMOTE_ENABLE"
"kcov: update documentation on remote coverage collection"

(where the documentation patch covers changes by both the other changes)

All the patches I sent were meant as full patches, not incremental fixups.

Yes, that is an accurate combination of "[PATCH v2] kcov: allow
simultaneous KCOV_ENABLE/KCOV_REMOTE_ENABLE" and "[PATCH v2] kcov:
update documentation on remote coverage collection", and it is
up-to-date, and the changelog looks accurate.
