[U-Boot] my recent i2c patches

[Frans Meulenbroeks]

One word wrt the i2c patches I just mailed.
It was my impression that git send-email would include the number in
the patch but as can be seen that was not the case.

The patches are to be applied in the following order:
0001-cmd_i2c.c-reduced-subaddress-length-to-3-bytes.patch
0002-cmd_bootm.c-made-subcommand-array-static.patch
0003-cmd_i2c.c-reworked-subcommand-handling.patch
0004-cmd_i2c.c-sorted-commands-alphabetically.patch
0005-cmd_i2c.c-added-i2c-read-to-memory-function.patch

(actually the bootm patch is not really relevant when it comes to ordering).

If anyone can educate me how to get the patches numbered, please
(I have sent this by git send-email 0001... 0002.... etc in one command

Frans.

PS: I once read somewhere that it is also possible to add additional
text in a patch only for the mailing list, so not part of the commit
message.
However, I could not find that info any more. If someone by any chance
knows that please drop me a mail.

        -n, --numbered
            Name output in [PATCH n/m] format, even with a single patch.

maybe this option to git format-patch can help you even if that's not 
exactly what you ask here :

        --cover-letter
            In addition to the patches, generate a cover letter file 
containing
            the shortlog and the overall diffstat. You can fill in a
            description in the file before sending it out.

Dear Frans Meulenbroeks,

Git-send-email does not insert anything, it just sends the emails.
If you want numbered patches, you have to add the numbers when
formatting the patches - i. e. use "git-format-patch -n"

Indeed. Text below the "---" line is comment.
