This is not how we submit subsequent patch-sets.
It is unfortunately how we handle patches on dri-devel&intel-gfx to be able to cope with massive mail load. If everyone who submits to intel-gfx would always resend the entire series for minor updates of som patches we'd completely drown in the resulting flood.
For one or two simple fix-ups in the set perhaps, but when submitting the entire set it needs to be threaded as a separate block, rather than seeing current and superseded patches inter-woven. This submission is already a rat's nest and I'm struggling to see which patches are which. I'm really not looking forward to v3 and v4! Attaching one version to another is a good way to keep control if you really are over-whelmed. For your use-case I would expect to see the following, which is achieved using --in-reply-to:
[PATCH 0/2] Here is what I did... [PATCH 1/2] Clean up and tests [PATCH 2/2] Implementation [PATCH v2 0/3] Here is a reroll [PATCH v2 1/3] Clean up [PATCH v2 2/3] New tests [PATCH v2 3/3] Implementation
The version numbers also need to be present and aren't in this re-submission.
Please submit them as a whole, seperately from the first submission and with versioning information i.e. [PATCH v2 X/Y] Stuff ...
In case we unload and load a driver module again that is registering a lookup table, without this it will result in multiple entries. Provide an option to remove the lookup table on driver unload
v2: Ccing maintainers v3: Correct the subject line (Lee jones)
Change logs should go underneth the '---' and above the diffstat found below.
Again just style differences between subsystems, I generally want to have those above the ---.
For all commits? Then I'm guessing your Git history is all but unreadable. In the kernel, unless the changelog holds valuable historic information which influance key design decisions, we put the patch changelog *below* the '---'.
Please read Documentation/SubmittingPatches:
"14) The canonical patch format
[...]
The "---" marker line serves the essential purpose of marking for patch handling tools where the changelog message ends.
[...]
Other comments relevant only to the moment or the maintainer, not suitable for the permanent changelog, should also go here. A good example of such comments might be *"patch changelogs"* which describe what has changed between the v1 and v2 version of the patch."
