Hi Andy, Hi Andrew,
I have a question regarding patch submission. I am going to mimic what Andy has done for v5/6 and v6/6 and send 2 patches in a bundle as follows:
/* for the cover letter */ : Subject: [PATCH v1 0/2] gpio: mlxbf2: Introduce proper interrupt handling
Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] gpio: mlxbf2: Introduce IRQ support
Subject: [PATCH v1 2/2] net: mellanox: mlxbf_gige: Replace non-standard interrupt handling
Questions:
1) do the subject lines look ok? i.e. sending patches that target "net" as opposed to "net-next"
2) would you like me to add a "Fixes" tag to each patch as follows? I am not sure if you consider this a bug?
Fixes: f92e1869d74e ("Add Mellanox BlueField Gigabit Ethernet driver")
You are posting patches which go into two different subsystems. So you
need to pay special care here. Pick a maintainer you want to merge
this, and make sure you Cc: the other maintainer. Make it clear in
patch 0/X which maintainer you would like to take the patch series,
and that the other should give an Acked-by if they are happy with the
patches.
I don't think this should be considered a bug, so no need for a Fixes:
tag.
The subject lines look O.K.
Also, please fix your mailer to wrap lines at about 75 characters.
Andrew
