For a case like this where there's no
dependencies or real relationship between the patches it's probably
better to just not thread everything and send the patches separately to
everyone, the threading is just adding noise and confusion.

It is not that easy, unfortunately. On some cases (specially due to
DT binding renames) some patches change the context of a hunk, affecting
a subsequent patch.

If that's the case then the cover letter really needs work to make this
clear, I couldn't tell that there was any risk of dependencies nor would
I expect any for such trivial changes.

I tried a couple of times in the past to send the patches individually,
but that was messier, as there was harder for people to apply them,
as, instead of running b4 just once to get everything, maintainers
would need to apply each patch individually. Also, there were cases
where the patch order would be relevant, due to context changes.

You could also send a per subsystem series if there's a concern about it
being hard to pick up individual patches.
