We just apply patches automatically by saving the raw email as text (including headers and everything) the we do a `cat raw_email.txt | git am`. Your changelog is all "Hello, how are you? blah blah blah. Best wishes, etc.". It should just say: das6402_boards array is used in das6402.c only, so declare it as static. Signed-off-by ... You can put the "This patch applies to linux-next next-20140410" under the --- cut off line so that we're aware but it doesn't get saved in the log. For staging it doesn't really matter, because either the patch applies to linux-next or we'll ask you to redo it. Please send a v2 with a terser changelog. regards, dan carpenter
