I would have added this below the first line (after an empty line):

Would that have been correct? Or would something else have been required in addition?

So it isn't a problem that this opens a new (series of) threads instead of replying to the mails requesting the changes, is it?

I use `git send-email` directly (I have set sendemail.annotate=true & sendemail.confirm=always), so my command would have looked like this: `git send-email --cover-letter --subject-prefix="PATCH v2" --suppress-cc=all  --to=cip-dev@lists.cip-project.org cip/linux-4.4.y-st..fix-alsa` which is basically how I created the current 4 mails.

I'm wondering if this is correct, especially as I used the prefix "PATCH 4.4" before to denote that it is meant for the 4.4.y branch. This doesn't seem to be required, so what should I use as the prefix instead for a (future) patch/patch series?

Anyway I noticed you already applied the commits fixing the mentioned issues before tagging, thanks!

I'd still appreciate a reply or a link to a page answering those question if one already exists, so the process can be smoother next time.
Thanks a lot!
