You don't need to chain a v2 patch series to the previously
submitted version at all. Just make sure that each patch
in the series is a reply to its own cover letter. I use:

 git format-patch -o ~/sent-patches/whatever.2 master --cover-letter
     --subject-prefix='PATCH v2'
 [Edit the cover letter here]
 git send-email --no-chain-reply-to address@hidden
     ~/sent-patches/whatever.2

(add --suppress-cc, --from, --cc, etc to taste, and you can
set these defaults in your .gitconfig rather than using command
line arguments. --dry-run is also a useful send-email option.)

PS: for Linaro you should include 'address@hidden' :-)
