Hi Vicentiu,

Once a while I browse through the patches in various mailing lists to keep myself informed.
So I came across your patch set pretty randomly.

I have few tips for you to make your life easier before you get to some serious troubles
with the maintainers ;)

1. Always send all the patches in the series to the same recipients list.

That is, do not send dt-bindings to just Rob, Krzysztof etc. and LED driver
patches to Lee et al. We all need to see the whole thing.

If you run the scripts/get_maintainer.pl script on the series, you get a complete list.
This is what Krzysztof requested you to do in his comments to v3.

2. Use git format-patch and git send-email tools to submit patches.

If you use these tools you will avoid issues with wrong threading of the messages.

3. The following text should not be here.

You are supposed to just reply in-place to the review messages to acknowledge
that you read the comments and you understand what the reviewers want to
change. Then you send a next version of the series as a new message to all
the recipients. Definitely not as a in-reply-to to the previous version.

I hope you will get this sorted, I know the beginnings are difficult.
