I think you need a v4 since for patches that are actually fixing a bug I
want a Fixes: tag added and I want them to be applicable independently
of other patches in the series. Send them in a separate series if you
prefer - I just want to make sure they apply independently.

As for marking patches for stable kernels, I do not think it is right
to send cosmetic churn to stable kernels anyway, at least that's my
reading of the policy.

You can easily post a v4 with patches reshuffled - I will apply them
accordingly.

Before re-posting please read this to improve formatting (I can do it
for you but while at it you can do it yourself):
