You can't break compilation in between patches. Each step of the series
(each patch) must be self-contained, build, and work correctly.
Otherwise bisection becomes a nightmare.

Please also post series as a thread (patches in reply to the cover
letter), it seems that patchwork did not group the patches correctly
here.
