Experiment a bit. These are threaded with all the later ones in reply to the first patch. 
In-Reply-To: <20260129172340.34216-1-antoniu.miclaus@...log.com>
is set in the header.

As I mentioned in other branch of thread. I'd actually prefer sets of patches doing
a similar thing bundled up in a thread with a cover letter and clear patch numbering.
That cover letter can provide some brief background info on the common elements of
the series. Even if it is trivial it puts a sensible grouping on them and reduces
how commands are needed to apply them.
