Hi Raghu,

This posting is a new cover letter alone, and it has the same exact
Subject line as the previous cover letter which had patches attached.
As you might imagin, that is confusing to humans and may be confusing
to automated tools.

Please try this:

Next version is v7, not a resend

v7 changes:
- Append the actual patches that were omitted in previous send
- Update the v6 changelog
- Reorder and remove blank line in Patch Tags

v6 changes:
- Rebase 
- Do the redundant dev_err() cleanup in cxl_memdev_state_create()


By Reorder the patch tags, I mean:

Replace this:
Reviewed-by: Vishal Verma <vishal.l.verma@xxxxxxxxx>
Reviewed-by: Dave Jiang <dave.jiang@xxxxxxxxx>
Reviewed-by: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@xxxxxxxxx>

Signed-off-by: Raghu Halharvi <raghuhack78@xxxxxxxxx>

With this:
Signed-off-by: Raghu Halharvi <raghuhack78@xxxxxxxxx>
Reviewed-by: Vishal Verma <vishal.l.verma@xxxxxxxxx>
Reviewed-by: Dave Jiang <dave.jiang@xxxxxxxxx>
Reviewed-by: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@xxxxxxxxx>

There should be no space among the tags, and they get listed in
the order of arrival. ie. You gave your Signed-off-by first,
and then the Reviewed-by tags follow. The maintainer who applies
your patches, will add their Signed-off-by Tag last upon merging.

(If you'd like to try something new and useful, look up git format-patch
--base option. We often use that in a patchset to tell reviewers and
those who will apply the set, the base commit)

Thanks for keeping at it Raghu!
