A patch series is a collection of related patches attempting to achieve a specific high level end goal. If, instead, these are just scattered unrelated changes, they do not belong in a patch series and instead should be submitted individually. Otherwise, if they belong together, you have to explain what that grouping and purpose is in your header posting. Thanks.
