Patches with no changelog have no changelog ;-)

My usual workflow is to re-send a whole series, and only
add a changelog to the ones that actually change.
For instance, for this patchset, the only one that actually changed
is "ARM: omap2: gpmc: Fix gpmc_cs_reserved() return value".

The rest is just the same it was in v1.

I like to do it this way, because I think it keeps the patches
together, and I hope I make maintainers life easier; of course,
I might be wrong.

So, should I use a different workflow and send only the patches
that change with new versions?

Thanks,
