For all patches in the set, can you please run the tool ./devtools/check-git-log.sh [1], it checks for some common commit log errors. [1] ./devtools/check-git-log.sh checks the applied commits in the tree and gets commit number to check as parameter: "./devtools/check-git-log.sh -16" for this case.
