Jiri, please add some distinguishing text to your subject lines when you post fixed up version of patches. Like "v2" or something like that, and make a note under the commit message of the changes you've made from the previous version.
Otherwise I think it's a dup (because I get a thousand copies anyways) and will just delete it both in my inbox and on patchwork.
Thanks.
