You cannot directly send a pull request until the patches are reviewed,
once the the driver maintainer and other folks in the ML are happy, the
maintainer will pull your patches and get it merged in mainline kernel.

If using github, I think send pull requests is a way to initiate a review. It does not mean that that pull request will be merged as-is. As you point out, if there are review comments, the reviewee will address those comments and send another pull request till the reviewer is satisfied. After that the reviewer just has to 'merge' the latest pull request.

This, of course, is the github flow, not a general workflow for reviews.
