You need a "---" line above the diffstat, otherwise git adds it to the
changelog.

You aren't using git, which is fine, but as you are dealing with patch
series, I'd recommend using it, or quilt, or something else that handles
managing your patches.  Doing it "by hand" like this isn't going to
scale, especially as you now need to work against the linux-next tree,
or my staging-next branch of staging.git from git.kernel.org.
