First of all,
what is that flood of patches and why am I on CC on so many, even if I don't have anything to do with the code most of them touch? Have you heard of get_maintainer.pl?
Then, I'd never do all that "work" that if I were you.
Then, your patch Subject is the *same* on every patch. Not good.
Ditto for the commit message but I guess one can do only so many variations of the same thing.

I don't think this is a valid argument - I can understand 0644 much faster than the macros but maybe this is just me...

This SOB chain is wrong. Why are there two people doing a trivial patch?

So no, I won't take this senseless churn - it doesn't fix or improve anything IMO.
