Note that a multi-patch series always needs a cover letter, even if its contents are quite brief. Some of the automatic tooling gets confused by multi-patch series with no cover letter. Conversely, single patches shouldn't have a cover letter, although getting that one wrong doesn't really have much ill effect. thanks -- PMM
