I tried to follow the subject style for the subsystem, but then I prefixed it with "trivial" to highlight that I was sending an aggregate set of unrelated patches to trivial@kernel.org, that's also why I didn't want to CC everyone on every patch: to reduce noise.
That's not really helpful - it means that the patch is more likely to be missed and that the patch sticks out in the changelog.
Maybe involving trivial@kernel.org for changes which apply to a _specific_ subsystem is not necessary at all, next time I will just aggregate by subsystem.
That's generally better, the expectation should be that maintainers are going to apply even trivial patches and it does make life easier if things go that way (less chance of conflicting changes for example).
