You need to create a patch series. To do this, create a Git branch, make a set of commits that stack on top of each other, and then use git format-patch to create one patch file for each commit in your branch, and send them with git send-mail. You can look in the Buildroot manual, there are some explanations about this: http://nightly.buildroot.org/#submitting-patches Best regards, Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, CTO, Free Electrons Embedded Linux, Kernel and Android engineering http://free-electrons.com
