[ Not sure which persons and MLs you CCed - I am reading LKML offline ] Hi, your patch needs some refreshing... First your Subject... add a subject-prefix like... $ git format-patch --subject-prefix="next-20141226" [ The subject-prefix won't be seen if you push out the commit, but is good for people to see very quickly against WTF-tree you did your fixing. ] Your label... Check the log in [1] to path/to/file2change, this will tell it to you... $ git log --oneline drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-imx.c So your label should be better... i2c: imx: fix handling of wait_for_completion_timeout result Seems to be a quick hack :-), some typos in your commit-message... "wati_for_completion_timeout does not return negative values so "result" handlin here should be simplified to cover the actually possible cases only." *wait*_for_completion_timeout handlin*g* Hope this encourages you to do a v2.
