I appreciate your help with the precision. I used loose language,
agreed, would like to fix that. The patch was applied though but not yet
sent to the Linus'es tree as I understand. I'd appreciate guidance on
the process! Should I send a v2 nevertheless and explain the situation
in the cover letter?
IOW, how do I make this easier for the maintainer(s)?
Wei Liu should give his preferences. But in the past, I think he has
just replaced a patch that was updated. If that's the case, you can
send a v2 without a lot of additional explanation.
Normally if you need to send a new version because the original
patch is buggy, you can just update your patch.
If only a commit message or comment needs to be updated, I will let the
submitter know either to send a new version or not. Sometimes I will
just make the changes myself to save the submitter some time.
Very kind of you, thanks a lot for the explanation!
Wei.
