Taking the time to write a proper cover letter helps to do a "mental exercise" that 1. The changes make sense in the first place. 2. Only the necessary is done, not more or less. Even for a small patch set the time used to write the cover letter will pay off because it helps the maitainer to make a fair and educated decision. /Jarkko From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: jarkko.sakkinen@linux.intel.com (Jarkko Sakkinen) Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2018 14:37:53 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/3 RESEND] tpm: add longer timeouts for creation commands.
