I'm a little bit confused about the meaning of "formatting your patches"? Do you mean my patches cannot be applied by git am command? or? ( I tried the git am command with the mail I sent and it looks ok )
In this case the main thing is the subject line which is not consistent with other subject lines for patches in this area of code. This sort of stuff is particularly important when you're submitting large numbers of very small fixes.
probably also want to look at the CC list for your patches, I'm not sure why you're CCing Tejun here.
I get the CC list by get_maintainer.pl. Looks like the script gives me wrong CC list.
Yes, you need to apply a bit of taste to the output - it's inclined to generate false positives. For matches from MAINTAINERS it's good but for things generated from the git logs it can easily miss people or pick up people who've been doing kernel wide cleanup work.
