Luben,
Your emails do not comply with the Linux kernel patch submission format. Please read
http://linux.yyz.us/patch-format.html
Most critical is rule number #5 (signed-off-by line), but also important is rule number #1 (providing a useful subject line).
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for you reply. I'm well aware of the patch format. I wasn't sure about a different subject line since it it all part of a driver posting, "announce" rathern than "patch".
Yes, I understand that.
A key point is that it is impossible to differentiate your 27 patches, from looking at them in a email summary. Putting a short summary of each patch in the email subject line greatly assists those reviewing your code.
Yes, I forgot to add a signed off line. Sorry, but then again I didn't write the code, just presenting it. (#5. Sign your work...)
"sign your work" is more of a legal sign-off than a notation of authorship. In some cases, a company lawyer may be the person included in the signed-off-by line.
