You didn't really submit it, you pasted it into the middle of a reply to a message on an existing thread for a patch that was already applied:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/11/23/88
That's not really submitting a patch as far as I'm concerned, something that won't just apply with git am without special faffing isn't helping and things in the middle of threads aren't good either (it gets difficult to follow and there's every chance they'll never even get seen if they're buried in the middle of a reply where you don't expect to see a patch).
I see your point about the patch being in the middle of the thread.
Regarding the 'git am' compatibility, I thought I'd done it right, but see now that I used incorrect scissors, apparently 'git mailinfo' expects at least six '-' characters as the separator, while I used just three.
