No, not that way.

Here's the recipe for submitting patch series (a set of two or more patches),
assuming that you do the work on a branch which is based on mainline (master):

1. First, create directory which to store the patches.
2. Determine the base commit for your branch. Most of the times `git merge-base
   master <your branch>` can be used, but sometimes you need to determine that
   manually by seeing the commit log with `git log`.
3. Generate the patch series (preferably with cover letter) by `git format-patch
   -o <directory> --cover-letter --base=<base commit> <base commit>`. You can
   now write the description about the series in the cover letter (which will
   be 0000-cover-letter.patch).
4. Find the maintainers which will review your series with
   `scripts/get_maintainer.pl /path/to/directory/*.patch`. Ignore your email
   address if it exists.
5. Send the series with `git send-email <--to and/or --cc maintainers>
   /path/to/directory/*.patch`. All patches will be sent as reply to the
   cover letter.

Thanks.
