Thanks for your feedback!
So, I guess the "Intro" message should have been a cover letter. Next time I'll use "--cover-letter" with "git format-patch", as you suggest, if I need a cover letter.
My patch is called "i2c:zynq: I2C multi-bus support on Zynq"; I think it got through to the "Incoming patches" list OK...
I did CC these people:
Cc: Albert Aribaud albert.u.boot@aribaud.net Cc: Heiko Schocher hs@denx.de Cc: Michal Simek monstr@monstr.eu
Do you think these are the right guys?

Thanks for your interest on u-boot contribution.
Few notices, look like your newbie for u-boot contribution. 1. For patches which are less number may not require cover-letter unlit unless required. 2. Please CC to respective custodian, for your case i2c custodian if require CC to initial driver contributor and board maintainer. 3. Cover-letter is not require for less number of patches, until unless if needed. 4. what is "Intro", use git format-patch -M <Number> --subject-prefix="PATCH" --cover-letter See the below link for more info http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches 5. Try to use Simon's patman, solid u-boot tool for git ops, commit's and patches creation and git sen-email..etc tools/patman
