The previous patch isn't in the git repo yet so it doesn't have a commit
id thus this one is wrong. You should've just made a v2 and made that
change. I recommend you to look over this:
http://kernelnewbies.org/FirstKernelPatch Just remove the HEAD commit in
your local git repo, add that space and then when using `git
format-patch` use the "--subject-prefix" option to add that it's a
second version. Then after "---" you can say what was changed in the
second version. For example (I'm sure you can think of a better one!):

v2: added a space after a statement in a line where a coding style error
was fixed.
