Sorry, you will have to repost all of these l2tp patches with proper cover letters for a patch series.
In this particular case it's even more necessary, you posted two patch series. One with 2 patches and one with 8 patches. Do they depend upon eachother? If so, which one goes first. What is each patch series doing? How is it doing it? And why are you doing it that way?
Those are the questions answered by a properly written header posting.
Sorry, David. These two series are just backports for stable of patches that are already in mainline. Git added you to CC because of your SoB on the patches, but I don't think there's anything for you to do.
The 2-patch series is for 4.9-stable kernels. The 8-patch series is for 4.4-stable kernels, and it's bigger because there are missing dependencies in 4.4-stable.
I did call this out in the cover letters but, of course, you weren't CC'd on those. Duh. Anyway, sorry again for the noise.
