Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst:


"Separate your changes
---------------------

Separate each **logical change** into a separate patch.

For example, if your changes include both bug fixes and performance
enhancements for a single driver, separate those changes into two
or more patches. If your changes include an API update, and a new
driver which uses that new API, separate those into two patches."

It's not that hard, is it? Please do your very basic homework instead
of pretending to be a special snowflake and then come back.
