The patch set tries to remove *most* (if not all) of the coding style issues. checkpatch.pl script is still complaining (like 80 characters limit) but major part of the serious coding style issues have been rectified. > > None of your patches can be applied due to the wrong patch level they > were generated at.

But I am still not able find where I am doing wrong in generating the patches. I am following your tutorial :) but may be missing something. Please help. I am doing in the following ways: 1. I am downloading the latest rc source archive from ftp.kernel.org under directory /pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/testing 2. Then creating my own git repository treating the base source as master. 3. Creating a branch from it and tries to fix some sources. 4. Create the patch through git format-patch 5. Submit the patch through git send-email command. Dry run works fine with my repository. Could you please help?
