I've sent the "[PATCH v2] barebox: bump to version 2015.09.0"(
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2015-September/139495.html)
using the --in-reply-to option of format-patch, but patchwork didn't make
the v1 as superseded, I've done something wrong?

v2: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/517503/
v1: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/517494/

Best regards
