In the future I think we should send fixes separately from the rest of
the series, so it's clear to Linus where we expect patches to end up.

Perhaps Linus can share his preference with us?

Just make it clear to me where the patch is headed, if it is
a fix or a new feature.

Also mixing stuff in big series is of course problematic because
all the CC:in on MFD patches and whatnot that I don't apply
makes the picture blurry, but sometimes it is anyways needed
for context so it is a soft requirement.

Context was my concern here and I would otherwise have split the rest
of the patches along mfd/pinctrl boundaries. I felt the situation was
odd enough to warrant presenting the full picture.
