I hadn't read in detail yet (I've seen similar before and from
skimming, it's about mechanics of the process), but I was looking more
in terms of coding and/or style guidelines for the meat of the patch,
and/or hints/tips on getting things accepted from the point of view of
things other than mechanics of patch submission.

As mentioned these are openembedded.org autobuilds of submitted layers,
so I was kind of hoping there were something I could change in the
layer to make it work.  I guess the build host or chroot is missing
packges.
