Hi Zigit,

Thanks for sending this. It looks like the patches may have gotten
split from the cover letter because the In-Reply-To header isn't exact
for whatever reason (the two patches reply to
<20240903130606.292935-1-zig at iorw.io>, but the original has ID
<62F5EEA0B866E9E0+20240903130606.292935-1-zig at iorw.io>).

No worries for this initial rev, but just double check this if there
is a v2 :) archive links of the individual patches for reference:
