If I understand correctly, what you meant is that you send patch series
(let's say B), and B has its dependency patch series A which is in-flight
and hasn't been merged, so the commit history is like:

        ---P---A---B

where P is the well-known commit in public linux tree. In this case,
0day just applied B based on P without A, thus caused the build error.

Currently, we have proposed to add a new '--base' option for git-format-patch
to git community[1], developers could use this option to record the base tree
information which could help 0day to identify the state the patch series
applies to, thus 0day could avoid false report like this case.

For example, imagine that on top of the public commit P, you applied well-known
patches X, Y and Z from somebody else or yourself, and then built your
three-patch series A, B, C, the history would be like:

................................................
---P---X---Y---Z---A---B---C
................................................

With `git format-patch --base=P -3 C` (or variants thereof, e.g. with
`--cover-letter` of using `Z..C` instead of `-3 C` to specify the
range), the base tree information block is shown at the end of the
first message the command outputs (either the first patch, or the
cover letter), like this:

------------
base-commit: P
prerequisite-patch-id: X
prerequisite-patch-id: Y
prerequisite-patch-id: Z
------------

Now this feature is still under review in git community[2], hope it could be
merged in next git release.
