Patch looks good but seems mangled. Can you please resend using git
send-email? That tool takes care of all the details. Also if you want to
add a few things which should not be part of the commit message you can
put them below the the s-o-b line like this:
Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@xxxxxxxxx>

<Further explanations and context goes here>
Cheers, Daniel
git apply-mbox will the automatically cut away everything below the ---
line and only take the text above it as the commit message.
Thanks, Daniel
