recovery from fail

I have made and epic fail and am asking for advice on how to proceed
to cause the least amount of upset.

I submitted a simple patch series to LKML. A reviewer made a
suggestion. I submitted v2 - without building it :(

kbuild test robot picked up that it doesn't compile. The problem is
that I now cannot get the second patch of the series to compile.

What is the correct protocol to follow?

I don't want to make any more noise than I already have but I also
don't want to ignore the reviewer by not implementing the suggested
changes.

Is it rude to reply to the original review email for further
discussion having already botched the patch?


Thanks in advance,
Tobin.
