    Indeed, they're not displayed (though due to "format=flowed" the patch is 
not diasplyed correctly for me anyway).

    These will prevent the patch from applying, AFAIK.

    No, I suggest putting drivers/video/impact.* and drivers/video/*Kconfig 
and drivers/video/Makefile in one patch and leaving ip22-setup.c in another 
one -- the driver should be separate from the platform code IMO. The defconfig 
change should also be a patch of it's own, IMO.

    No, not reorder.
