With 'smaller patch', do you refer to less files at once or a different driver?
Is it generally preferred to send patches that relate to the same
issue (changes to a single file,
grouping of patches to tackle the same issue, such as conversion of a
specific function) over
patch(sets) that deal with an entire driver?

Thanks for the advice!
