Is this a fix on top of the kernel that Greg has?  Or is it a fix on top
of a patch that you have sent previously?  It should be the former, not
the latter.  If you need to correct something, you send a patch that does
the whole thing, not just the correction.

Among other things, the commit message in this patch has nothing to do
with the change that is actually performed.

Also, the v2 informations says that you are making the commit message
clearer, but it looks the same as the original one (to my recollection).

Finally, the subject line says that this is patch 1/2.  So if you need to
send any correction on it, you need to resend the whole series, not just
the patch that changes.  Greg will only apply a complete series at once.
