I don't really care what patches you send all at once vs. delayed for a
later time; just make sure that when you send out a series, it includes
all the necessary patches to make a coherent story, without breaking
anything, and that it is addressed to all the right parties. So far,
you've failed that by leaving out documentation, and by forgetting to
CC the relevant mailing lists and maintainers.

AIUI, you're asking about new SoC support vs. new flash support. Those
seem orthogonal enough to me that it would be fine to send the former,
and then later tackle the latter.
