Odd, how did you send these patches?  They are not properly "threaded"
or "connected" such that if you look them up on lore.kernel.org, or in
your email client, they show that they should be connected.

Here's what they look like in my inbox right now:


   1   T Jul 24 Tree Davies     (0.6K) [PATCH 0/5] Staging: rtl8192e: Function name cleanup series 1
   2 N T Jul 24 Tree Davies     (1.9K) [PATCH 3/5] Staging: rtl8192e: Rename function TxTsDeleteBA
   3   F Jul 25 To linux-kernel (  29) [PATCH v2] Documentation: embargoed-hardware-issues.rst: add AMD to the list

While if I look at a different recent series sent for staging patches, send
correctly, they look like:

 372   T Jul 22 Franziska Naepe (0.9K) [PATCH 0/9] staging: rtl8723bs: ioctl_linux: Fix checkpatch issues

See the difference with the -> and such?  No other messages in the middle of
the thread, and they are all connected together so that our tools can handle
them as a series, not as individual patches.

If you use 'git send-email' to send the whole back of patches at once, they
will be properly connected together, so I do recommend using that if you are
starting out.

Please fix up and try again, thanks.
