There are dependencies in the patch series:
Patch 10/22 depends on patch 01/22 and patch 03/22 to 09/22 patch.

Patch 02/22 depends on patch 01/22.

Patch 11/22 doesn't make sense without patch 10/22.

Patch 12/22 depends on patch 11/22.

Patch 13/22 to 18/22 are independent, pulling common code in functions.
But patch 21/22 uses these APIs in sample driver, so has to be before that.

Patch 19/22 adds basic documentation.
Patch 21/22 depends on 19/22 patch because that adds sample driver and
its explanation to documentation.

Thanks,
Kirti
