I've applied it all, but sincerely this is absolutely the last
time I'm taking in a patch bomb for a Broadcom ethernet driver.

If it's new stuff, keep it to ~10 patches.

If it's bug fixes outside of the merge window, keep it at
2 or 3 patches.

Post them very near to when you write them, so people have a chance of
actually reviewing your work (I guarentee I am the only non-Broadcom
person who looked over all 36 patches, or who ever will).

"Early and often" as it were...

Thanks.
