I don't see your "email asking to disregard this patch".  Did you send it in
plain text?  The Linux kernel mailing lists don't accept non-plain-text email.

Also, the second version isn't marked as "[PATCH v2]" like would be expected.
So it looks like a duplicate rather than a new version.

Can you make sure you've read Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst?
