Yeah, I use the patman tool [0] to post patches and something went wrong
after sending the first patch and I had to manually post the others with
git-send-email. I could had used --in-reply-to, but didn't feel like it.

That's a good idea. I also found some issues in the ssd1307fb driver when
doing the port, so I could dig more to fix them and propose myself as a
co-maintainer for the fbdev driver.

But I'll do that as a separate patch-set.
