RE: [PATCH 1/6] bfa: Brocade BFA FC SCSI Driver submission

[Jing Huang]

Thanks James and Greg for the quick check on the patches.

I check the original patch, it is correct. I need to check the outlook
setting to see how to prevent this issue.

This is my first time sending a patch, is there any trick to prevent
line-wrap? I did send it using plain text and I tried to send to myself
before sending to lkml, and I did't see this problem.

Sorry about the trouble.

Jing

Actually, it's more than just linewrapping.  The patch to the Makefile
looks to be actively mangled:
