[U-Boot] Patch submission process question

[Joe Hershberger]

Hi u-boot,

What is the recommended way to handle a patch series that depends on
another patch series (already sent but not integrated)?

How about a patch that was sent, that at the time didn't depend on
another series, but after review and changes, now depends on those
changes?

Even a bit more generally, some of the series are getting quite long
due to small dependencies.  This tends to put lots of unrelated
content into the same series based on small dependencies.  How is this
supposed to be dealt with?  Is it best to make long series or just to
send part of it and wait for it to be integrated before sending the
rest?

Thanks,
-Joe
