Look at other submissions on the mailing lists. When you submit a new version of a patch, it is stand-alone, with no dependancies on anything else, otherwise tracking that would be impossible, right? I suggest reading through the kernelnewbies.org "first patch submission" tutorial first as I think it will answer questions like this. good luck! greg k-h
