2) The rtlwifi in staging
   In staging, the module phydm v13 contains bugs, so I want to upgrade
   to v21 (Realtek internal version number). This upgrade contains a
   big patch that the difference between v13 and v21, and there are 
   40+ patches to support this upgrade. I have three options, and
   I want to know which one is prefer.

We can't discuss patches we haven't seend.  Please just send them right
away without any delay to both lists, and we can decide from there.

40 patches is a medium size set, patch that we are used to dealing with
every day.

I review every patch I commit and 40 patches is just pure pain to dig
through. So when submitting patches to me please keep the size more
reasonable, like 10-12 patches per set. I think Dave also has a similar
rule for net patches.

I wrote a FAQ entry about this:
