Just got a few bits of general advice on submitting patches to OpenEmbedded:

Each patch subject should be of the form "thing: change", where thing
is usually the recipe name. So this would be "gnuplot: Use gnuplot
license" or something similar.

The "[PATCH]" tag should be "[PATCH v2]" if you're superseding a
previously sent but not yet merged patch. In this case, it's unclear
which patch your mean. Please email in reply to the patch you want to
cancel so that the maintainers know not to merge it.

There's a lot of further detailed advice and guidelines at

Thanks,
