Hi,

your mail agent is not correctly configured, it sent the mail with an
empty suject, and without the "In-Reply-To, or References" headers set.
Please fix this. Your lines are also too long.

It is ipipe-gch.git, but the work in progress is not currently pushed
there, because I need to be able to rebase.

The pre- and post- patches allow a SOC-specific port on a vendor branch
to only contain SOC-specific changes, and not the core of the I-pipe
changes, allowing to update the I-pipe patch without updating the
SOC-specifc port. The pre and post patches are artificial, generated
with differences between specific trees, they do not need to reflect the
way you maintaint the SOC-specific I-pipe for the vendor branch.

Regards.
