The dependency chain arises because each of these patches introduces a new file,
requiring a corresponding update to the MAINTAINERS file.
In v4 [1], Rob and Daniel attempted to merge Patch 4 and Patch 5, respectively,
but encountered conflicts in the MAINTAINERS file. That's why I specified the
patch dependencies in v5 and this patchset.
Now, I understand that binding patches are typically handled by subsystem
maintainers. To prevent the conflicts again, I think I should gather all
MAINTAINERS file changes into a single patch. Is that right?
