Isn't the definition of "repost" the same patch?

I took Andrew Lunn's comment as a change request, hence v2...

I am guessing you allude to my response at
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/[email protected]/#27051411

Can I influence the prompt for Sashiko? From my point of view the
response was for a specific architectural questions, which needed a
specific prompt to get the answer for. I've clearly declared that I've
used AI to aid for this discussion, is that no allowed?

Whoops, yeah those two are failure on my part. Sorry about that.

Thanks for your help guiding me through the process! I intend to send
out v3, which at this point looks to be pretty much v2 plus formal fixes
and adding a tested by tag.
