Please don't do things this way.

Patiently wait for Antione's series to make it into my tree, then
submit your's.

Also, if we're continually going to elide the DTS file patches, just
don't bother adding them to the series.  That way you don't have to
give me special instructions, and I don't have the possibility of
making a mistake and applying it accidently.

Thanks.
