You sent me 8 patches for this driver, yet only 2 were ordered in a
series.  I have no idea what order to apply these in :(

Please resend them _all_ in a numbered patch series so I have a chance
to get this correct.

Yes, I can do that. Who do I send the patch series to in that case? The
maintainers list is slightly different for each file, and most of the
patches in this driver are for different and unrelated files (except, I
think, the two that I did send as a patch series). Do I combine the
maintainers lists and send the entire patch series to everyone listed as a
maintainer for any one of the patches in it?

The maintainer and mailing list is the same for all of the files in a
single driver.  If not, then something is wrong.

I'm using get_maintainers.pl with no arguments, and for rtl8723bs, I am getting a lot of different mailing lists.
E.g
For core/rtw_ieee80211.c, I'm getting the following list:
Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Michael Straube <straube.linux@xxxxxxxxx>
Andy Shevchenko <andy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxx>
Hardik Singh Rathore <hardiksingh.k@xxxxxxxxx>
Payal Kshirsagar <payal.s.kshirsagar.98@xxxxxxxxx>
Nishka Dasgupta <nishkadg.linux@xxxxxxxxx>
devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list:STAGING SUBSYSTEM)
linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list)

Which is not the same as for core/rtw_mlme_ext.c (the current patch).

And yes, you can combine the list of people if you wish but be sure you
are not just randomly including people who happened to touch the driver
"last".

Okay, I'll combine then. But is there any metric I should be using to filter the output of get_maintainer.pl? Currently I'm running it with no arguments and just adding everyone.

Thanking you,
Nishka
