Honestly, it's not our job to review someone's patch creation
proceedures and notes as everyone does it differently.  We will be glad
to review your patches that you create.

I think the review that I previously provided should be sufficient to
start with.  Again, send a short patch series to verify this, do not
send 100+ patches without getting feedback on them.

thanks,
