unfortunately I changed this after running checkpatch. My intention was to 
separate my (private) weekend work from the patches I do while I'm on the job.

this was also not by intention. Vladimir found some files I missed in the
first series. As the whole first series had already been reviewed at that time,
I wasn't sure whether I am allowed to add further patches to it. Additionally
I didn't concern that although my local build is successful, I should wait
until the first series is applied...

Please let me know how I shall proceed...
