Hi Gururaja!
Your instructions are exceptional! However I have a few questions: 1) why should I generate patches for 1st 3 patch, because I have only one? 2) if there are 3 patches (only 1 is mine) + a cover which exactly <required-patches> should I send?
thanks!

Hi!
I want to add a new board support to u-boot. So I did the following:
- git clone git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git u-boot-dev
- modified existing files, added new
Use "git commit" to commit your changes to tree
- built the tree for my board, beagle and overo - OK
- git format-patch - nothing happens
git-format-patch -M --signoff --stat -p --raw -n -3 --cover-letter
-3 == generate patches for 1st 3 patch -n = use n/n style --cover-letter == Generate Cover letter (0/n patch)
are there any step by step instructions how to create and submit patches
to
u-boot mail-list?
Use git-send-email to send patches
git-send-email --to ' u-boot@lists.denx.de' --cc 'maintainers@email.id' --cc 'related_developer@email.id' --cc 'self_for_reference@email.id' --suppress-cc=all <required-patches>
Reading this http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/U-Boot/Patchesdoes not give sufficient comprehension how to do it..
I appreciate any comments..
