My way of doing this (I don't know if it was the apporach most desired
by the OpenSC team) was to have a pull request for the card driver, and
different pull requests for fixes that touched general code.

I had a seperate *local* branch where both (all) where combined for
testing. I did also rebase the card driver from time to time onto the
most recent OpenSC/master, to test it with the newest version. (This can
also be done locally only.)

git reset --hard (careful!), rebase/merge and cherry-pick could be
useful tools for your local testing branch. Or you can work on the
testing branch, and if the next commit works, integrate it in the
driver-pull-request-branch.
