For this case, please use '--subject-prefix' option for 
git-format-patch. Like:

$ git format-patch --subject-prefix='PATCH v2'


Additionally, it's preferable to add 'ALSA: hda/ca0132: ' prefix for 
each patch. Like:

'ALSA: hda/ca0132: R3Di and SBZ quirk entires + alt firmware loading'


Furthermore, when posting several patches as a one series, it's 
preferable to post cover letter as well. Like:

$ git format-patch --cover-letter
0000-cover-letter.patch
...

Of course, it's better to write enough information in the cover letter. 
For its content, please refer to cover letters by the other developers 
in alsa-devel archive.
