Thanks for your reply. However, I am confused. Pleas bear with me as this is
the very first time that I submit a patch and I followed some guidance that I
found on the internet (obviously not the correct one).

I suppose I just need to delete the parts of the email where you write "this
doesn't go in the changelog".

Yeah, please put into the patch changelog only the things that should end 
up in the actual commit log (the thing you see when doing git log / git 
show etc).

I am not sure what my signoff should contain. Could you point me to a correct
guide for this ?

Please read

	Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst

signoffs specifically are discussed in paragraph 11.

Thanks!
