In my case, there're mfd/backlight/regulator for RT4831.
You mean I can just send the whole patch set directly to whole
mfd/backlight/regulator maintainers.
And you can filter like as the keyword to review the related contents, right?

From my original thought, the order is mfd -> backlight-> regulator,
one by one due to different maintainers.
Maybe I think too much about the patch ordering

If so, after getting the comment from Rob, I'll send the whole patch to you.
Thanks for the notice.
