If you sent just the one, and you redid the printk() then it would
make the later patches not apply.

Maybe just send the one, with a fixed changelog and leave the patch
as is.  The problems in the printk() were not introduced in this
patch so I can't really complain about that.  A couple people have
already volunteered to fix that in a later patch.
