I think it would be best if as many patches as possible get merged
into v6.5 through the individidual subsystems, though I can take
whatever is left through the asm-generic tree.

Since the goal is to have maintainers pick up part of this, I would
recommend splitting the series per subsystem, having either a
separate patch or a small series for each maintainer that should
pick them up.

More importantly, I think you should rebase the series against
linux-next in order to find and drop the patches that are queued
up for 6.5 already. The patches will be applied into branches
that are based on 6.4-rc of course, but basing on linux-next
is usually the easiest when targeting multiple maintainer
trees.

Maybe let's give it another week to have more maintainers pick
up stuff from v5, and then send out a v6 as separate submissions.
