Could you please use git-format-patch to create the patch, and
git-send-email to send it? This might avoid problems like the line
wrapping - see below.

Also, please spend a few seconds on thinking about which text you want
to see in the commit message. As submitted here, the whole text:

	Hi  Wolfgang,
	I have modified my patch. ...
	...
	Signed-off-by: Ryan Chen <ryan.chen@st.com>

would make it into the commit message. I do not think that was your
intention. Comments about the patch etc. should go *below* the "---"
line that gets inserted by git-format-patch.

Well, but the real problem with your poatch is here:
...
> +#define FIELD_SIZE(field)               (1 + FIELD_END(field) -
> FIELD_START(field))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
> +#define FIELD_MASK(field)               (((1 << (FIELD_SIZE(field)-1)) |
> ((1 << (FIELD_SIZE(field)-1)) - 1)) << FIELD_START(field))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
> +#define FIELD_NORMALIZE(reg, field)     (((reg) & FIELD_MASK(field)) >>
> FIELD_START(field))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
> +#define FIELD_DENORMALIZE(field, value) (((value) << FIELD_START(field)) &
> FIELD_MASK(field))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
> +#define FIELD_INIT(reg, field, value)   FIELD_DENORMALIZE(reg ## _ ##
> field, \
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
> +                                                          reg ## _ ## field
> ## _ ## value)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
> +#define FIELD_INIT_VAL(reg, field, value) \
> +                                        (FIELD_DENORMALIZE(reg ## _ ##
> field, value))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
> +#define FIELD_VAL_SET(x, r, f, v)       x = x & ~FIELD_MASK(r ## _ ## f) \
> +                                              | FIELD_DENORMALIZE(r ## _ ##
> f, r ## _ ## f ## _ ## v)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

And so on - your mailer is wrapping long lines, thus corrupting the
patch. It's unusable as is.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
