Hi Vivek,

Can you get in the habit of not replying inline with new patches like
this? Collect the review feedback, take a pause, and resend the full
series so tooling like b4 and patchwork can track when a new posting
supersedes a previous one. As is, this inline style inflicts manual
effort on the maintainer.
