Hi Greg,

There is an article, which asks not to submit too many patches at once:
Submitting patches: the essential guide to getting your code into the 
kernel — The Linux Kernel documentation 
<https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html><https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html>

NO!!!! No more huge patch bombs 
to<https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html>linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
<mailto:linux-kernel%40vger.kernel.org>people!

This is confusing as you are requesting more patches. What options do I 
have?
- should I remove linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx until you are happy with 
the review?
- can I submit a small number of patches for a non fully functional 
driver and submit the next portion after they are reviewed and accepted?

Thanks
Iouri
