I haven't seen your code yet, so I may misunderstand what you are
actually referring to, but from what it sounds I think that should
not be optional, but strictly separate from the DFU code.

Yes.

Normally you do this when developing the code.

If you already have alltogehter as a huge pile of a mess, then you
will have to go thtrough splitting this up.  Either completely
manually (ouch...) or by using git's interactive capabilities - for
example, "git add --interactive" can be used to select even single
lines from hunks of changes into the next commit.

Yes, this is a painful work, but it needs to be done to make your code
acceptable for mainline.

Well, I have to look up certain details again and again, and I do not
hesitate to refer to certain cheat sheets either when I have to
perform non-trivial actions.

Best regards,
