When you create a series, it is a good thing to include a cover letter,
in particular in cases like this, in which there is no v1 of this
patch.  Notice that you have just created a v2 of a previously
non-existent series. This can create confusion for maintainers
were you addressing a more complex task.

I might be a bit picky here, but be sure that any extra time you
invest in the first stages as a kernel contributor will pay off
in the future. :)

Anyway, here is my

Acked-by: Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavo@...eddedor.com>

for both patches.

Thanks and keep contributing.
