Hello I've submitted this patch a couple of times: [PATCH] media_build: support building against a specific kernel I formatted it with git-format-patch and it makes it into patchwork: https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/60186/ https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/59979/ but it doesn't look right when it gets there. For some reason, the last hunk of the patch is included with the patch description. This was why I resent it the first time, I thought I must have messed up the formatting. Admittedly I'm sending from gmail's web interface but I have taken some care to get the text correctly formatted and patchwork did the same thing with it twice, so I'm starting to wonder if there's an issue with patchwork. I've attached my copy of the last outgoing email attempt in case that's useful. The only thing that looks suspicous to me is on the signed-off-by line I did not enclose my email address in '< >' markers, while that last hunk happens to have those characters in it. Kind regards Vince

From: Vincent McIntyre <vincent.mcintyre@xxxxxxxxx> To: linux-media <linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Status: RO Content-Length: 2188 Lines: 73 I find it helpful to be able to build the linux-media modules for a kernel other than the one I am currently running. This is a resend of the patch that appeared at https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/59979/ and completely supercedes that patch. There are no differences in the patch, just the formatting of the submission email.
