Subject: Re: [PATCH V3 2/2] scripts: dtc: Build fdtoverlay and fdtdump tools

Hi Viresh,

I may have an email hiccup, but I don't see a "[PATCH V3 1/2]" email, I
only see this "V3 2/2" email.

Please start each new version of a patch series as a stand alone email
instead of a reply to an email in a previous version of the series.
That way each patch series discussion stands out as a separate thread.

Also each version of the patch series needs to include all of the patches
in the current version, even if they are unchanged from the previous
version.

Thanks,

Frank
