"You may like to include a cover letter with your patch series."

Generally, I think cover letter will be needed only if it really
help reviewer to get main idea about patches. 

Such as my on going pathes(with cover letter):
  https://lore.kernel.org/imx/ZLglBiSz0meJm5os@lizhi-Precision-Tower-5810/T/#t

Similar case without(cover leter) and accepted.
 https://lore.kernel.org/imx/20230719063425.GE151430@dragon/T/#t

I don't think cover letter real help reviewer to review these two patches.

I more like to get "real problem"(such as comments about "typo").

It is just waste time to discuss if need add cover letter here.
