Go through all patchsets on DT list touching different subsystems. You
will find only 1% of patchsets having above expectation implied (when
not explicitly stated).

Really. 99% of patchsets on DT list targeting different subsytems, have
opposite, so implied rule they go INDEPENDENTLY to separate subsystems.

And above (so implied rule of splitting things) is even documented in DT
submitting patches.
