Please keep your patch series to no more than about a dozen at a time. Also, group your changes logically and tie an appropriately descriptive cover letter. "Increase driver version to X.Y.Z" tells the reader absolutely nothing. Someone reading that Subject line in the GIT logs will have no idea what the overall purpose of the patch series is and what it accomplishes. You really need to describe the high level purpose of the patch set. Is it adding a new feature? What is that feature? Why are you adding that feature? How is that feature implemented? Why is it implemented that way?
