I'm fine with this going through either tree.

I apologize for the overlook. I was just focussing on changing the path. 
I'll make the required changes and send a v2.

As this patch is part of a series, am I supposed to send all the patches with a
v2,
some have been acked by already, hence I had the question?

Thanks and regards,
Shankari
