Ok, so usually this is what happens when there is a set of changes:

1. they all touch the same subsystem (eg. drivers/clocksource), you
just send all the patches to the maintainer(s) + mailing list + related
people

2. they touch different subsystems:

2.1) the changes are not connected (not related together), you have
to split in smaller parts and send the patches to the right subsystem
maintainer (so falling back to 1.)

2.2) the changes are connected:

2.2.1) Ask all the different subsystem maintainers to acknowledge
the changes and submit the patches to arm-soc@

2.2.2) Ask each maintainer to take their part if the changes are
connected but not interdependent (patches individually won't break the
system)

You are in the 2.2) situation. My question is do you want 2.2.1) or 2.2.2) ?
