A reasonable rule of thumb is use the deepest directory path basename you can to prefix the patch. Something like: [PATCH] $(basename $(dirname $file)): terse description If you are patching drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/apt.c this becomes: [PATCH] realtek: terse description There are some exceptions though. One of them is if the patch is in staging, prefix with [PATCH] staging: $(basename $(dirname $file)): description cheers, Joe -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
