Actually, looking at it again the above patch is plain not needed,
dropping it and updating the patch which follows it in the series
is what needs to be done.

a respost with v2 in the subject of the patch affected by dropping
the above patch?

Or I could repost the series with above patch dropped and the affected
patch corrected?
