Hi,
Thank you for this remark, I was trying to be clever and tried to send a patch
in a bit non-canonical way. So I've send a cover letter and a couple of other
major bits of a solution to everyone from the output of scripts/get_maintainer.pl
run on every patch from this series.

./scripts/get_maintainer.pl /home/mwilczyn/patches/remove_notify_external/*

(where remove_notify_external contains all patches generated for this patchset)

For the rest I used --to-cmd and --cc-cmd options of git send-email. This way I could
send patches with minor changes to every driver to only specified people marked
by get_maintainer.pl for this individual patch.

Hope that when re-sending with next revision --thread can help.
