Re: [PATCH]1/3 intel_menlow:Adding comment for GTHS legal values

Hi Sujith,

I applied 1/3 and 2/3.
I had to hand-edit them because they were line wrapped
by your mailer.

This is only a minor waste of my time for a trivial patch,
but for a longer patch, I'm not going to do that for you.

Please read Documentation/SubmittingPatches

note that it is [PATCH 1/3], not [PATCH] 1/3 -- as future
generations don't need the '1/3' in the commit message...

thanks,
-Len

ps. also, don't bother sending a copy of patches to my intel.com
address, that goes to exchange, which destroys patches.
I apply all patches from my kernel.org account, which is
subscribed to the lists.
