Ok, but if pending patch needs new version, then it will be taken at the 
end?

Here is the situation we have:

	I have the patch series based on old function behavior, it was
	posted first

	Then Fabio posted refactoring of the function and it changes
	return values.


Both series are pending right now and made on top of staging-next 
branch. Who needs to rebase? I think, applying these series as-is can 
broke the driver, since error handling will be broken





With regards,
