Well, it's pretty clear that you didn't read the document whose link you've
been provided by Gustavo A.R. Silva and Greg Kroah-Hartman. Furthermore you
also ignored Gustavo's suggestions about how a patch should be made. :(
If you had read that document you should have noticed that your patches
doesn't comply with the Linux kernel development rules.
In section "Revising your patches/Versioning one patch revision" there's a
sample patch ("fix the number of endpoint parameter"). If you look at that
patch you see what your patches are missing.
Patches have at least three logical entities, but in your case they must be
four because you are sending new versions of the initial one.
1) A "Subject". Along with information about the version and the position in
a series, you must always write the subsystem prefix and the driver name.
The text in the "Subject" should summarize with _few_ _words_ the "Commit
message" or "Changelog". Few words means that you don't need "replace camel
case b_short_slot_time instead of bShortSlotTime." because it is too long.
No full stop at the end of the line.
Just something like "Fix camelcase in bShortSlotTime" is enough (you may also
add "[] variable", if you want to.
2) A "Commit message" (or "Changelog"). You must explain "what" you did and
"why". You didn't provide it and Greg Kroah-Hartman complained.
He won't ever accept patches without it. If you had read "Start creating your
first patch / Git post-commit hooks", you would have known of the "post-
commit" hook and so, you had not submitted patches without messages because
that hook would have warned you.
3) A "Versions list" (or a "List of changes between versions"). Where in the
list of 3/3 you recorded that you changed "port_off_set" to "post_offset"?
4) A "diff" of the changes that shows the changes you have made, one line a a
time. This is the only part that is not up to you because Git adds it
automatically.
Again, please read the documentation.
Thanks,
Fabio
