And your patches seem to be getting reverted. Wow, I think you broke a
new record in having the percentage of patches added to the kernel and
then reverted. Even before they made it to mainline.

You may be the only developer that has all their commits reverted
before they ever make it into the mainline tree!

Congratulations! I think it is wise now for all maintainers to add your
email to their /dev/null folder. It will help them from wasting any
more of their precious time on you.
