I understand, I also maybe over-reacted on this. Just please go through
the comments you got for first submission and either apply them or
respond why you disagree.

The next submissions (patchset split into several commits) should be a
v3, preferably with cover letter (git format-patch --cover-letter -v3
...) where you can document also changes you did to the patchset.

It looks for example like this:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-samsung-soc/31da451b-a36c-74fb-5667-d4193284c6cd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/T/#mf98d2ac27a8481dc69dd110f9861c8318cade252

or like this (where changelogs are in each patch, although ordering is
not correct because dt-bindings should be the first in the series):
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220103233948.198119-1-Mr.Bossman075@xxxxxxxxx/


Best regards,
Krzysztof
