Hi gregkh,

Let me clarify more. In my series, PATCH 3/4 4/4 depends on PATCH 1/4
and PATCH 2/4. And also PATCH 2/4 depends on PATCH 1/4 as they are
closely related.

But from your reply, the last 2 patches should not depend on the first
2 patches. I don't quite understand as I don't send some patch series
before. For a patch series, the latter ones should depend on the
former ones, right? If I have any misunderstanding, please let me
know.

BTW, PATCH 3/4 has some compilation issues. I will fix it in the next version.
