ok. Let's look at it.

I my repo are 4 patch series.
1. emaclite: 10 patches. At least 6 will be resubmit.
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/111768/
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/111769/
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/111770/
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/111771/

Probably not possible to apply because of v2 in 111772
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/111773/
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/111775/

2. microblaze series - 4 resubmits
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/112528/
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/112529/
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/112530/ - depend on patch from emaclite series not functional - just to avoid conflict
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/112531/

+ 3 patches which I can't see on patchwork but can see it on mailing list.

3. serial multi uartlite v3 required - 1 resubmit
+ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/113567/ - wire up for MB

4. axi ethernet v3 required - 1 resubmit
+ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/112533/ - wire up for MB

Series 3 and 4 should go together because the first patch must be driver change and then MB changes.

ok. Can I delegate patches through patchwork which are not review and probably should be reviewed or applied?
Or change subjects for every patch if is new version or resend?

Regards,
Michal
