If you want people to look at and care about your changes, it is never a waste of time to explain them.

It's helpful to your reviewers if you include a note about changes between v2 and v3, as you did in your v2 0/2 cover letter.
It's also helpful if you thread the series with patches 1 and 2 as responses to the cover letter. That makes it easy to download the patches using b4. Here's a little more background:
