Hi Yanjun,

There's a few hiccups with this one.

   - the patch appears to be against meta-networking, not
     meta-openembedded.  I can work with that, but nothing should be
     committed to meta-networking, that's purely my own side-project and
     everything going to it needs to come through commits in
     meta-openembedded.


   - the commit log includes a reference to an internal bug tracking
     ID, that won't mean anything to anyone outside of Wind River (or to
     most inside :-)).

   - you copied an internal WR mailing list on this, which I think ends
     up with bounces to anyone who replies and isn't inside WR.

   - you should try to ensure your patches follow the OE guidelines, in
     particular with an upstream-status line, not all patches in the
     tree have them, but it's nice if we can stay on top of them.

   - the submission didn't follow the standard guidelines for patches.

There's a recipe in the meta-networking layer (it's basically the same
as all the other meta-openembedded layers) that describes how to easily
send patches to the list in a way that ensures the machinery recognizes
it and that anyone can work with it.  It's here:

   meta-openembedded/
      meta-networking/
         MAINTAINERS

Something like this will help next time around:

   git send-email -1 \
        --to openembedded-devel at lists.openembedded.org \
        --subject-prefix=meta-networking][PATCH

Since this is a straight back-port of an upstream patch, I don't expect
it to be a big deal, so I've updated your commit log and the patch
header with the information from the link you quoted above.  Mainly just
FYI for the next time.

Thanks.
