Just to make it clear, what Krzysztof is pointing at is the subject
line of your email. Based on your email headers it looks like you're
using "patman" to send out your emails. That means you can get what
Krzysztof wants by putting a "Series-version" in one of your patches.
Given that you had three v1 posts, maybe call the next version "v4"?
That means that one of the patches should have:

Series-version: 4

Then in each patch you'll have details about what changed in each
version. I guess we could sorta call the one where you added the
bindings "v2". So in the bindings patch you could add:

Series-changes: 2
- Bindings patch added

...and in both patches you could add:

Series-changes: 4
- Got the version number correct

You've already got a cover letter setup, so in that you should attempt
to explain some of this mess, like saying:

Sorry about getting mixed up with version numbers. Here are links to
previous postings and what I'll assume the version number is:

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220830053307.3997495-1-sheng-liang.pan@quanta.corp-partner.google.com/
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220901061336.61386-1-sheng-liang.pan@quanta.corp-partner.google.com/
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220901091253.93333-1-sheng-liang.pan@quanta.corp-partner.google.com/

As an extra note: the bindings patch should be patch #1 and the device
tree should be patch #2. That means you should reorder your patches.
