Yes, with that patch it's okay, you just forgot to mention that
dependency in your cover letter - also a change log from v1 is missing.
Instead of quoting Alex in the cover letter, you should've placed his
Acked-by before your Signed-off-by in the patches he ack'ed - unless you
did major changes there (e.g., uint8_t), in which case it shouldn't be
in the cover letter either. And please use [PATCH v5 n/m] as canonical
ordering. :)

I trust that you have tested and other reviewers have considered no cast
to be necessary for left-hand s->version in the expression now that it's
uint8_t rather than uint32_t? Then,
