[U-Boot] Best way to submit this patch

I'm planning to submit a patch to add LCD support to the current main Denx (non-AVR32) git.
It consists of the following changes:-
cpu/at32ap/at32ap700x/clk.c | 5 + cpu/at32ap/at32ap700x/portmux.c | 90 +++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/video/atmel_lcdfb.c | 5 +- include/asm-avr32/arch-at32ap700x/chip-features.h | 5 + include/asm-avr32/arch-at32ap700x/clk.h | 6 ++ include/asm-avr32/arch-at32ap700x/portmux.h | 5 +- include/asm-avr32/global_data.h | 3 + include/lcd.h | 2 +- lib_avr32/board.c | 11 +++ 9 files changed, 128 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)
Can I submit this as a single patch (since it is *all* related to LCD support), or should I split it up into lots of little patches ?
Regards Mark

Hi Mark,
Don't agonize over it, just post the patch. The number of electrons you kill by asking for direction/permission is roughly the same as the number you kill by just submitting the patch. Just hit send already.
(Based on the above stats, that is a small patch. Hypothetically, it is cohesive as well. We have insufficient information to throw any hypothetical stones at it.)
Best regards, gvb

Okay ... thanks Mark

P.S. I probably should have put a smiley in there somewhere. It was meant to be more humorous than curmudgeonly. Thanks for not taking it personally. ;-)
