In the subject: s/implicitely/implicitly/ if you are fixing the typo, or
s/implicitely/explicitly/ if you are trying to make it match what the
patch actually does.

No 0/2 cover letter?  ALL multi-patch series should include a cover
letter, as it is easier on tooling to be able to base series-wide
conversations on the cover letter.

Seems a bit odd to use fflush() in one place and fseek() in the other,
but the net result is the same either way.
