Hi Tree,

when I try to apply your patch on the top of all the other patches I get 
the following error message:

My be the previous send patches are not taken then your chance is better 
that this one will fit. Will see what happens.


You need to put your patches into a patch series.
This reduces email traffic as the reviewer can just send one email and 
does not need to send four.

A possible command for a patch series is looking like this:
git format-patch -o ~/Documents/kernel/patches/ --cover-letter -n 
--thread=shallow --to="Greg Kroah-Hartman 
<gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>,linux-staging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" 
4bbbd60d84e15fdb7bffde98a687ed168a4dfbbd^..HEAD

Use the git commit id of your first patch.

Bye Philipp
