I've currently split the patches up in the following manner

sn9c20x: 184k
omnivision: 43k
micron: 30k
hv7131r: 4.4k

I could reduce the big one my about another 30k by splitting out the
sysfs and debugfs as well which would break down as

sn9c20x: 154k
sysfs: 20k
debugfs: 10k
omnivision: 43k
micron: 30k
hv7131r: 4.4k
