You need to provide a proper "[PATCH xxx 0/N] " header posting
explaining what the series is doing at a high level, how it is
doing it, and why it is doing it that way.

A patch series is a collection of related patches attempting to
achieve a specific high level end goal.

If, instead, these are just scattered unrelated changes, they do not
belong in a patch series and instead should be submitted individually.

Otherwise, if they belong together, you have to explain what that
grouping and purpose is in your header posting.

Thanks.
