It's OK to re-post Stephen's patch with your series, but:

1. The subject shouldn't have FROMLIST. That's just for patches picked
back to a Chromium OS kernel.

2. You shouldn't have "(am from...)". Again, just for patches picked
back to a Chromium OS kernel.

3. No Cq-Depend. That's something for patches picked back to a
Chromium OS kernel.

4. You should remove tags that were added by the Chromium review
system, like Stephen's "Tested-by" and my "Reviewed-by".


Another alternative is to not post Stephen's patch but add a note that
your patch should be applied atop his, then point to his. AKA:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220518172525.3319993-1-swboyd@chromium.org
