What ever you want to do is ok.  :P  Greg applies them on a first come
first serve basis.

In theory, you should sent bug fixes first.  Then my hint would be to
send the patches in the least controversial to most controversial.  That
way if you have to redo one it will be at the end and we can apply the
earlier ones.

Otherwise send them in whatever order you want.

It's fine for your patch to have checkpatch warnings if they were there
in the original code.  It's also fine if you change indentation and it
makes you go over the 80 character mark.

Common sense applies.

Fine fine.

Just send us what you have so far.  It's better to not get too big of
pile of patches until you get a feel for which things we are going to
complain about.
