I'd like to confirm that I'm doing this correctly so that the next patch 
I send to you will be correct. This is what I have done: 
I cloned your repository directly under gregkh/staging.git . I've checked 
out staging-testing and created my own branch I called ronald-branch. 
Then, when I had ronald-branch checked out, I ran "git merge staging-testing", 
to make sure ronald-branch was up to date.
Then I make the appropriate changes and resubmit patch the patch?
