Posting one patch per file works - but sometimes it just makes more
sense to group some files. The process is more or less the same
and it is up to you.

I looked briefly at the link provided in another mail.

It will save you some feedback if you make the files
$checkpatch --strict clean before you submit.

Maybe I confuse this with the older branch I looked at first,
and the current code base is OK.

In drm land most new code is more-or-less checkpatch --strict clean.
There is always the corners cases so do not aim for zero warnings.
