I think this is totally fine you take ownership of the patch, please 
send a formal V2.

Please double check what patchwork had to say about your V1 :


https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/1684598287.15044793.1653314052575.JavaMail.zimbra@kalray.eu/


And make sure to address the relevant points

The most important one is the lack of 'Signed-off-by:' tag, of course.

If your v2 submission is correct, it can be merged this week ;)

You simply can include a proper Fixes: tag, so that stable teams can 
backport

the patch to all affected kernel versions.
