Re: [PATCH] Revert "drm/sun4i: Handle DRM_BUS_FLAG_PIXDATA_*EDGE"

[Giulio Benetti <giulio.benetti@micronovasrl.com>]

Hello,

sorry for my ignorance.
I don't know the right patch workflow in the case of "revert commit".
When I fix this bug, should I have to re-submit the previous patch 
entire plus bug-fix?
Or do I have to submit patch with bug-fix only?

Thanks in advance to everybody
