Yes, that is ok, but your first patch said it was just function
renaming, and then the second patch broke functionality, and the third
fixed it up.  You should have a working kernel at each step in your
patch series, which you did not.

Just send your new patches and say they depend on the previous ones.  My
staging patch queue is almost empty at the moment so odds are I have
already applied, or rejected them.
