Yes, i mean together with the DT documentation change. Those two belong together, they are one functional change. Part of this is also to do with scalability. It takes less effort to merge one patchset of two patches, as two individual patches. The truth is, developer time is cheap, maintainer time is expensive, so the process is optimized towards making the maintainers life easy. So sometimes you do combine orthogonal changes together into one patchset, if there is a high purpose, eg. adding support for a new device on a new board. However, given the situation of two overlapping patchsets, it might be better to submit smaller patchsets. Andrew
