Actually, yes.

Just because you've submitted a similar patch, an
independent patch like this one, doesn't need to
refer to those patches you've previously submitted.

For instance, your "References:" for this email

"[PATCH v3 0/3] gianfar: Fine-tuning for gfar_ethflow_to_filer_table()"
for no obvious reason.  What is this reason?
