Does anybody have comments or something that should be added?

Submitting OMAP patches version 20060428
As linux-omap tree is almost in sync with the mainline kernel, all core omap patches need to in suitable format for sending upstream.
The reason for this is to produce a clean revision history, make maintenance easier, and give proper credit to the patch author.
The core omap patches include anything that touches the following directories:
arch/arm/plat-omaparch/arm/mach-omap1arch/arm/mach-omap2include/asm-arm/arch-omap
Anything else is considered non-core omap code, and must be in separate patches.
When submitting a patch, please check the following:
- Patch follows linux/Documentation/CodingStyle
- Patch follows linux/Documentation/SubmittingPatches
- Patch subject must be [PATCH] ARM: OMAP: Subject of the patch
- Patch body must contain short description of the patch
- Patch body must contain proper Signed-off-by: line
- Non-core patches are in separate patches
