I think you haven't missed any of them.

That said, you need to do this in patch [1/2], or the kernel between
patches [1/2] and [2/2] may be broken on some systems.

If you want to do that in separate patches, the current [2/2] should be
[1/2] and vice versa.

I guess they will apply in the reverse order?
