Hello, Tom.
I posted a patch to change a file permission. This: http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2013-November/167573.html
and again: http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2013-November/167608.html
But my patch would not appear on patchwork. (Maybe because there is no diff line.)
I think so too. There is some handling for renames without patch in patchwork, but I think there is no handling for just file permission changes. That should be fixed in patchwork then.
Is it better to squash it to another patch?
Well to show it up in patchwork that could work. Since this change is quite trivial I think it will also work if you just peak the relevant custodian to pick this from the list.
Could you pick my trivial patch directly from the ML? http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2013-November/167573.html
Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
