Please don't make v2 a reply to v1. It makes it hard to see that a new
version has been sent. Also, please include a changelog here (below the
---) when sending new revisions so that we know what changed compared
to v1.

For this patch, you can just reply with the changelog instead of sending
a new revision.

Also, you received an Acked-by on v1, so you need to explain why you did
not keep that tag when you sent v2.
