Thanks! :-)

You can just send the patch now, and add in a post-commit log that the
other patch is required first, i.e. in your commit log, add a three-dash
line and the message after it, like so:

    package/usbip: new package

    usbip is part of the linus tree, so it should be part of the
    linux-tools infra. However, it uses autotools, which are rather
    difficult to use in the linux-tools infra.

    So we make it a proper, separate autotools package. We only rely omn
    the kernel to be extracted and use that as the source.

    Signed-off-by: You

    ---
    Note: this requires that the patch to fix the hook order in the
    rsync command (https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/704859/) goes
    in first.

And cherry-on-the-cake, make it a reply to that patch, with --in-reply-to
when sending the patch.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
