Why you need cover letter?????What are u missing in the patch
description

If you submit a *patch set* I *require* a cover letter, yes.

It's good but it is not must, you are inventing your own rules.

As long as the Maintainer is the gatekeeper, you're not going to get very far
with this argument. ??The fact is that a lot of subsystems have varying rules;
often undocumented, some of which are even in conflict, like alphabetic vs
reverse christmas tree format for includes.

Usually I'm trying to stay in convention of the surouding code even if it's agains my personal taste.
 I think this particular case was a bit different. 
 

A cover letter is actually one of the more uniform rules. ??It's referred to in
submitting patches, but not actually documented there.

I'm all for cover letters,  but for few code line fixes it's more comments then code.

What is most important I think I and Jarkko had found finally a common ground.

Thanks
Tomas
