All look good now. Note about the 'Reviewed-by: ' reply I gave you.
When you resend a patch, you should pick up all the 'Reviewed-by',
'Acked-by', 'Tested-by', etc lines and add them to your 'Signed-off-by'
line in the patch, so that information doesn't get lost.

If you don't resend the patch but it gets picked up by the maintainer,
then the maintainer adds then while applying the patches.
