Have you been told the series is unnecessary or too big?

Although all patches represent a variant of the same mechanical
transformation but they are mostly unrelated to each other and, if
accepted, they will be applied by many different people.

Taken as a whole presenting this to maintainers as a 22 patch set is too
big. I'd recommend starting with a smaller patch or patch series where
all the patches get picked up by the same maintainer.

PATCH 0/XX is for the covering letter. You should generate a template for
it using the --cover-letter option of git format-patch. That way patch 0
will contain the diffstat for the whole series (which is often useful
to help understand what the series is for) and there is no need to
make no-op changes.
