Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst: "Separate your changes --------------------- Separate each **logical change** into a separate patch. For example, if your changes include both bug fixes and performance enhancements for a single driver, separate those changes into two or more patches. If your changes include an API update, and a new driver which uses that new API, separate those into two patches." It's not that hard, is it? Please do your very basic homework instead of pretending to be a special snowflake and then come back.
