Yeah, that is exactly what I did before reading this message but
after reading your comments on the patches ;-)

I see what I wrote can be misread, especially due to its lack of
",instead", that I want to keep the broken one as-is, with neither
reroll nor fixup. That is not what I meant.
- If you choose to squash so that the resulting history after the
series graduates to 'master' will be simpler to read (due to lack
of "oops, that was a mistake"), I do not mind a reroll.
- On the other hand, as the topic has been in 'next' for some time
and presumably people tried it in their real daily work when
needed, keeping what is queued as-is has a value---we have a
fixed reference point that we can go back to to compare the code
with and without the fix.
I do not have a strong preference, but if I were asked to choose,
I'd choose the latter.
Thanks.
