For Wim's benefit:

You forgot the actual change. The follow-up RESEND is really confusing;
RESEND indicates that no change was made, and leaves it up to us to figure
out what is going on. If something like this happens again, just add
another rev and add a note indicating what has (really) changed.

Also, when you make code changes, please drop previous Reviewed-by: or
Acked-by: tags unless you got explicit permission from the reviewer
to keep the tag.

Thanks,
Guenter
