You could send some of the changes as individual patches, or group them in series of 1,2 or 3 patches. That way, you "parallelize" patch sending, and when you get reviews on each patch, you can re-spin them individually. You'll find over time that certain patches get accepted on V1, others on V2 and some on V7 [ hopefully, there isn't any frustration at that point ]. Well, this is a technique I use to distribute some of my upstream-patch- work, so that I can switch easier between internal-work & upstreaming-work. Coming back to this patch-series. My general input, is that the patches are fine over-all; some are just cosmetics/noise/a-different-way-of-doing-things-for-this-driver, and those usually can be left to preference [of the maintainer usually]. I do suggest to not hurry when re-spinning patches, and not change too much the number of patches in a new series. That can complicate things sometimes. But, if doing small patch-series or individual patches, you won't have this problem too much.
