I normally prefer the cover letter for this. No, the patch description is added to git repository, and shouldn't contain that kind of "extra" information. But you can add the version information to the posted patch. The diff stats below, after the "---" line, are discarded by git when applying the patch. So I think you can just insert any text below --- (but before the actual diffs) and they do not appear in the final git commit. I've not actually used that myself, and I can't find notes about it in the documentation, so I'm not sure if there are any restrictions about it. I've seen it used, though. > >> Signed-off-by: Chandrabhanu Mahapatra > >> --- > >> drivers/video/omap2/dss/dss.c | 115 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++------= --------- > >> 1 file changed, 74 insertions(+), 41 deletions(-) > >> > >> diff --git a/drivers/video/omap2/dss/dss.c b/drivers/video/omap2/dss/d= ss.c > >> index 7b1c6ac..6ab236e 100644 > >> --- a/drivers/video/omap2/dss/dss.c > >> +++ b/drivers/video/omap2/dss/dss.c > >> @@ -31,6 +31,7 @@ > >> #include > >> #include > >> #include > >> +#include > > > > Hmm, what is this for? > > >=20 > I should have included "include/linux/gfp.h" instead.
