I'm calling out a few typos / non-code mistakes:

1. On the cover letter I missed updating the subject to v5 for this series
  (the changelog is noted below).

2. I also accidentally dropped Christoph's Reviewed-by tags on patches 
   1, 2, and 3 during the rebase (given while reviewing v4 [1]).

Everything else in the series is correct as per the v5 changelog.
Please let me know what the right etiquette is? Shall I resend the series?

Apologies for the noise!
