I think you should not apply this patch on a tree that does not already
have the first three patches in the series. The easiest way would be
to keep the series together. As an alternative, Shawn could create a
git branch with those three patches and let you (and the other subsystem
maintainers) pull that branch in before applying the subsystem specific
patch.
