Yes, that's what I do.

I prefer to see the incremental patches once a patch has had review or
testing, so we can see which bits changed. But if Greg intends to
merge this driver then he'd probably prefer a fresh new patch,
particularly as a) version 1 was only sent yesterday and b) he hasn't
merged version #1.
