The patch should always be based on a recent kernel. Expect to resubmit
again if the tip changes and the patch has conflicts.

Patch fails upstream checks
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Patches are expected to pass the upstream kernel patch tools provided with the
kernel source tree. A patch that fails these checks will be rejected.

Before you submit, do the following:

- Read ``Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst`` for the upstream
patch submission guidelines.
- Run ``scripts/checkpatch.pl`` against a generated patch to catch style
and formatting problems.
- Run ``scripts/cleanpatch`` if the patch needs to be cleaned before
submission.
- Run ``scripts/cleanfile`` on a new file before you create the patch.
- Run ``scripts/Lindent`` if a file needs to follow the kernel indentation
style.
