lkml is not where to send dwc patches, you know better than that :)

That's what scripts/get_maintainer.pl is for, always use that.

How are we supposed to know that?  For stuff like this that are bug
fixes and for stable kernels, they should be in a separate series so we
can apply them to the latest -rc release, all of the cleanups and new
features should be in a separate patch series.

Anyway, as others said, 49 patches is a lot, let's wait for the
maintainers to return from vacation before anything else...

thanks,
