Have you been told the series is unnecessary or too big? Although all patches represent a variant of the same mechanical transformation but they are mostly unrelated to each other and, if accepted, they will be applied by many different people. Taken as a whole presenting this to maintainers as a 22 patch set is too big. I'd recommend starting with a smaller patch or patch series where all the patches get picked up by the same maintainer. > This patch itself is a no-op. PATCH 0/XX is for the covering letter. You should generate a template for it using the --cover-letter option of git format-patch. That way patch 0 will contain the diffstat for the whole series (which is often useful to help understand what the series is for) and there is no need to make no-op changes.
