Hi Gary,

this patch series needs to be a V2 with change history.

The next patch series you are going to send is V3.

The cover letter of your patch series seems to be hand made. You can use 
git to do this.

I am using this command to do this:
git format-patch -o ~/Documents/kernel/patches/ --cover-letter -n 
--thread=shallow --to="Greg Kroah-Hartman 
<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>,linux-staging@lists.linux.dev,linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org" 
7b88c62d3cc5c3fb670b5448c7381c7c099b3518^..HEAD

There are now 31 patches pending for this driver. May be it is a good 
idea to wait until those are accepted or rejected. May be this is 
happening on Thursday morning. Or you apply the patches before you put 
yours on top:
