Please split these up and send them independently to the relevant
maintainers with sensible subject lines - a single 1000+ patch series is
far too large and you're CCing random people so it's hard to tell which
patches are relevant (for example the batch I'm replying to here are for
the input subsystem which I don't maintain so I'm not 100% sure why I'm
being copied here).

With this sort of thing it's often best to send one series per directory
or something similar.
