Do I need to rebase it? Because I have already included all the
maintainers in the patch which I got from  scripts/get_maintainer.pl.

Thanks,
Shyam

If you want it applied, yes, you need to rebase it.  Listing the
maintainers doesn't help the patch to somehow magically be able to be
applied to the tree :)

Please work against my staging-testing branch of the staging.git tree,
as it has a lot of patches I just accepted in it that are not yet in
linux-next.

thanks,

But then why some of my patches which were based on linux-next were
accepted?

for example today You've accepted 
my patch "Staging: vt6655: Remove explicit NULL comparison using
Coccinelle"

with commit id  4d932504b534584e116b400dd6e7b8ce7deb455c, 

which you can check on 
 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git

This patch was based on linux-next tree.

Please clear my confusion.

Thanks,
Shyam

Because maybe others have sent patches in for this specific area of the
kernel, or there are changes made by other developer's trees (like the
iio maintainer) for this driver.  linux-next merges all of our trees
together, and usually is the correct thing to use.  But sometimes it
doesn't work out due to the large number of patches I get for the
staging tree (about 20-50 a day, sometimes more.)

thanks,
