There are basically 7 tips to be followed. The first two tips cover the testing of a patch and getting it reviewed by people. The next two cover the compilation of changes made by the developer and make them available for testing purpose. The fifth tip is one of the important where a submitter need to check the formatting style for the code using script ``checkpatch.pl`` & get the maintainer for the patch using script ``get_maintainer.pl``. The inclusion of Sign is must. The next two tips contains the authority of a patch and sending it to related maintainer. Next are the descriptions assigned to section entries which are used further for providing the information about the Maintainer, Reviewer, Status, SCM and so on. eg.
