I thought "treewide" means you're changing something across the tree.
If you want to get a new platform reviewed I'd just post the patches
as RFC without any prefix in the subject. But I could be wrong.

My main point (which I did a pretty poor job of actually making)
was that for the networking driver to be merged it needs to get
posted separately.
