Ok! As a newcomer I'm not sure about the right way to add this comment.
Should I add it to the patch message or after the --- ? Also, how do I
reference patch X? Just giving the number of the patch in this series?

An alternative to adding the comment would be to drop the return ret,
and reinsert it in the next patch. Dosen't seem so good, to me, but
would avoid the problem you presented. What would be better?


Matheus.
