I'm confused.  You have a Fixes: tag here, yet this patch depends on
patch 1/3, right?  This implies that you do not want or need this to be
backported to any stable kernels, right?

Or do you?  If so, put the bug fixes first, and properly add a cc:
stable tag, so that they will get backported correctly.

If not, then don't even put a fixes tag on it as obviously it isn't a
bugfix that is relevant to track anywhere, and then this is just a
normal new feature to be added to the driver.

Please resolve this and submit a new series based on your decision.

thanks,
