Yeah, this is exactly what happens if patch2 depends on patch1 which has not 
been merged to master yet.

Once patch1 gets merged, evil 'Cannot Merge' tag at patch2 automatically 
disappears.
 
(unless it doesn't, and that means someone else has committed changes to the 
same chunk of code in the meantime and your patch no longer applies, but let's 
deal with that only when such situation arises)

Yours is the correct way, the reviewers are well aware of false merge conflicts 
of dependent patches. I'm still not sure if this is a gerrit bug or some 
sophisticated feature *grin*
