I'm afraid this isn't the way a v2 patchseries should be structured.
The idea is that a v2 series should be complete in itself, not based
on whatever v1 was. So when you make the changes requested in review
of v1, you update the commits in your local git branch, and then you
send out the patches as the v2. v2 should apply cleanly on to master,
and all the patches in it should be logically separated out changes
(with no "patch 1 makes a change and then patch 2 changes the code
that was added in patch 1" effects).
