ISTR *NOT* acking the whole series though. In fact, I recall
giving a generic NAK part way through because of patches that
didn't include comments (after manually NAKing many individual
patches) and ones where $SUBJECT didn't match the patch comments.
Plus even a few which seemed to be wrong.

(And I've said the same thing about Blackfin patches before,
too. Please help the message get through to your co-workers:
make sure the patches come with useful public descriptions.)

At this point, best to resend the whole series, with the
updates I requested. The few patches which I did ack can
include that ack.
