Don't forget to create a cover-letter and each patch should be in-reply to the cover letter. If you haven't done this before, practise by sending it to yourself until it looks correct rather than spamming the list. It should look like this on this list: [PATCH 00/03] Subject ... |-> [PATCH 01/03] mfd: Description ... |-> [PATCH 02/03] hwmon: Description ... |-> [PATCH 03/03] gpio: Description ... -- Lee Jones Linaro STMicroelectronics Landing Team Lead Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog
