This patch was set to "changes requested" in patchwork. The comment that this refers to
(make two patches a series) isn't applicable and I answered to it here:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/d6ee6353-5cb0-4751-9b69-255ab62e6b56@gmail.com/T/
Whatever is better for you: If it can still be applied, fine. Otherwise I'd resubmit
after the merge window.
