I'm not sure what showed refers to?

I guess if I squashed /everything/ into a single commit (i.e. the change
to the Tegra section in MAINTAINERS too) then there wouldn't be any
bisect issues. I really don't care about patch count. The reason for >1
patch is that there's often push-back if doing logically separate things
(adding N: feature, modifying a MAINTAINERS entry to use it, removing
part of K: feature) in a single patch...
