Well, assuming he tells you that there is a problem, run "bk undo -r <rev>.." to remove the patchset that he doesn't like (in theory). If there have been a large number of changes after <rev> then they are all removed (there is no way to remove only a single CSET from within the middle of the tree. Then you re-do the changes in a way that Linus likes, and submit a new CSET.
You could also add the fix to the same tree and hope he accepts both CSETs, but I think Linus doesn't want to clutter up his tree with <patch>+<fix> instead of a single <patch> that was correct in the first place.
In some cases, you are probably better off to export the changes in <rev> into a diff, get a new Linus BK tree, and re-apply the patches + fixes and generate a new CSET from that.
Not perfect, but that's life.
