Three other minor style updates as well that would make my life a little easier:

* The sign-off type tags at the bottom of the email are kept in logical
chronological order (irrespective of actual chronological order). This means
that all signed-off-by tags go together followed by a reviewed-by tag 
afterwards.

* Watch out for initial caps at the start of a commit title. [This will be 
caught
by the check-git-log.sh script if you want to run that]

* The history updates from vN to vN+1 are best put after the signoffs and 
prefixed
with a cutline, so that they get stripped automatically when the patch is 
applied.
Otherwise I have to delete them manually from the commit message. The format of
the messages is therefore best done as:

        bnxt: <title>

        <commit message>

        Signed-off-by: <author1>
        Signed-off-by: <author2>
        Reviewed-by: <reviewer1>
