You don't need to apologize for every review comment you get. It's
meant for improvements of results, not personal. :)

No, no, no. What you should do is just something like:
[PATCH v3 0/x] Add Faraday A36x SoC platform support
[PATCH v3 1/x] arm: Add Faraday A360 and A369 machines
[PATCH v3 2/x] faraday_a36x: Add FT... timer
...
* v3 cover letter contains a change log going back to v1.
* v3 is not a reply to v2 (no --in-reply-to). This aids a threaded mail
display for reviewing and avoids an old version getting reviewed or applied.
* 1+/x are replies to 0/x (usually automatically by git-send-email).
That helps keep the patches together and in the right order.
* Bug fixes of your own code do not go separate (only if you were fixing
existing code from qemu.git). There's no need to introduce bugs and then
to fix them.
* Adding a stub machine in 1/x has the advantage that the patch is much
smaller and easier to review than first adding all devices and then
adding a machine that uses all of them. And each device being added in
(1+n)/x can be tested (system not fully working of course). I.e., the
machine will grow in functionality patch by patch.
* Maybe you can order EHCI last due to the refactoring work involved?
To aid with the requested reordering and squashing of bug fixes into
patches, `git rebase -i` and `git checkout -p` may be of help to you.

Andreas
