Regarding splitting the series up. I don't see a problem in just sending the cover-letter patch and actual GPIO-related patches to the GPIO-maintainers with no need to have them added to Cc in the rest of the series.
The Linux community has to handle a large number of patches. I don't particularly want patches which are of no relevance to me landing in my mailbox. It might take 4 or 5 rounds for the preparation patches to be accepted. That is 4 or 5 times you are spamming the GPIO maintainers with stuff which is not relevant to them. One of the unfortunately things about the kernel process is, there are a lot of developers, and not many maintainers. So the processes need to make the life of maintainers easier, and not spamming them helps.
