Ok, a couple of tips for the next time:

* please send your reworked patchset for review after review of your
current patchset has been completed. We normally send patchsets once a
week. You've sent yours two days after and that's kinda too fast. I'm
sure you can imagine reviewers have other work to do too.

So please be patient before resending next time.

If in doubt, the whole process is documented in Documentation/process/ -
might wanna skim through it.

* when sending your patchset, make sure all mails are sent as a reply to
the 0/N message.

Your 0/N has:

Message-ID: <9964a6cf-00be-78ea-cc1e-7f7062716fce@maciej.szmigiero.name>

but your 1/N has

References: <cover.1521150415.git.mail@maciej.szmigiero.name>

so something went wrong there. Normally git send-email does this
correctly.

Thx.
