Patch series should start at 1, not 5.  In this case, your two patches 
PATCH 5/6 and PATCH 6/6 look independent from one another, and could be 
posted as individual patches, not in a series.

Our usual block comment style is:

/*
  * blah blah
  * blah blah
  */

i.e. the opening '/*' is on a line by itself.  If you could fix up the 
block comments to conform to that style, that would be great!
