OK, so this is line wrapped and won't apply. Probably because you're using outlook: I think microsoft specifically programmed it to mangle patch attachments. If you can't use an email tool which can be made to work Documentation/email-clients.txt you'll need to attach the patches rather than inlining them (which will annoy people). > Patch description: > ------------------ > Added new hardware device interface for PMC-Sierra's SRC based > controller family. This is a bit terse for a description. It looks like you've added support for the new device 0x28b which requires an expansion of the doorbell registers to function? > Please review the driver patch and let us know your comments. > > Please see the patch below. > > Thanks & Regards, > Mahesh > Linux Driver Development Engineer, > PMC-Sierra ODC, Bangalore OK, so really you want patch description first, then a set of three dashes, then the rest of this (including the diffstat). The automated tools ignore all text after the '---' line, so anything that's not description can go there.
