Thanks for sending out the patch series.

I gave it a quick shot and the series breaks the build starting with patch 2. I
see that you have fixup commits later in the series, however in the kernel we
don't allow patches to intermediately introduce build failures, build warnings,
bugs, etc., see also [1]. You should still try to break things down logically as
good as possible.

>From the current structure of your patches it seems to me that structure-wise
you should be good by going through them one by one and fix them up; your later
patches should become "noops" then. But feel free to re-organize things if you
feel that's not the best approach.

Can you please fix this up and resend right away? This should make the
subsequent review much easier.
