I was playing catch-up with a bunch of commits in our internal tree, which uses Perforce. The change migration process doesn't lend itself to pulling individual commits out of Perforce and into git, and I also worried about spamming LKML with dozens of small patches for the tile architecture, which after all hasn't even been pulled into Linus's tree yet. And, of course, since few if any folks are actually running these bits on their hardware yet (our hardware customers are likely all running the sources we ship them), the bisection issue is less critical. But I will at least make sure to separate out cleanups and bugfixes going forward.
