Ok, new kernel developer 101 training time :)

Your Subject:, while the [PATCH] part is fine the rest of the line needs
to be a bit more descriptive.

As this is the "mic" subsystem, how about something like:
	Subject: [PATCH 1/4] misc: mic: host driver sysfs cleanups

No need for the whole "Intel MIC" stuff.

Also, as I "reported" this, you should have a:
	Reported-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <...>
line in the patch.

And really, all of those people reviewed and signed off on the patch?
That's great, just not a normal thing.

So, can you resend these 4 patches with those things cleaned up?  Same
thing goes for Joe's patch, he deserves a "Reported-by:" at the very
least, given that he pretty much wrote that whole patch.

thanks,
