Yes, please. This diffstat:

8 files changed, 3141 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)

...is too big for a single patch, and one sentence of changelog for
that diffstat is too small.

You might look at the early history of driver/nvdimm/
drivers/acpi/nfit* to get some ideas on how to break this up into
smaller pieces that just do one theme per patch.
