I guess that is some unfortunate result of git send-email combined with 
get_maintainer.pl . In general I also prefer to see the whole series, but have 
gotten such partial series from other maintainers as well in the past, so it 
seems to be depending on preferences somewhat.

For the series at hand, the 4th patch is the devicetree addition, which the 
expected way is me picking it up, after you are comfortable with the code-
related changes.
