Chris,

Please, never send two patches at the same email. This doesn't
work: patchwork and all tools used by me and other maintainers
will either discard one or both patches, or even merge both into
one.

Also, when you're sending us a series of patches, be sure to
number the patch series with PATCH 01/xx (where xx is the last
patch), and put a different subject on each patch. There's no
need to reply the original thread.

See how all your patches will appear for me:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-media/list/?submitter=4542

It is very hard to know that you have a complese series of patches,
instead of just a new version of a patch that you've already sent. 
By default, the last case is assumed, as it is somewhat common to reply
to a patch with a new version of it (yet, the best practice would be
to rename the new patch series as PATCH v2, PATCH v3, etc). If I wouldn't
notice this before I would simply mark all patches except by the last
one as superseded, and just get the last one.

Thanks!
Mauro
