Yes, Marc, thanks for your guidance. It's my mistake that I sent an old 
cover letter when sending the patch series， so I sent a correct cover 
letter after I found the mistake. I'll do it carefully in future.

Ok, I'll resend the series properly without 'RFC'.

Thanks for your guidance again, I'm so sorry and please forgive
my ignorance about these rules. I'll do it as your guidance here
in future.

Ok, I'll address the patch attributions in this series as soon as
possible and resend it.
