So what you're saying is that if only some of the patches are applied
the driver will not work properly?

That's not allowed either, your set of changes must be fully
bisectable meaning that at any point in the series the driver
must still compile and work properly.

You guys need to sort out how you guys submit your changes.

When you have 4 patches ready to go, post them immediately.

Because if there are fundamental problem with the first 4,
everything else that depends upon them will need to change.
