You've not copied me on the rest of the series so I'm not sure
what's going on with dependencies.  What's the story here?

When sending a patch series it is important to ensure that all
the various maintainers understand what the relationship between
the patches as the expecation is that there will be
interdependencies.  Either copy everyone on the whole series or
at least copy them on the cover letter and explain what's going
on.  If there are no strong interdependencies then it's generally
simplest to just send the patches separately to avoid any
possible confusion.
