Please read the first paragraph of:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/Documentation/email-clients.txt

It's not clear from reading this email why 0 is incorrect and 3<<16 is
correct.  Explain in the changelog.  What are the user visible effects
of this bug etc.

The patch must have a signed-off-by line.

Here is what typical patch emails should look like:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/12/377
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/12/369
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/12/299

The subject should be:

[PATCH] vme: ca91cx42: Bad if test something something

Make sure it apply with `git am` and review the log.

regards,
dan carpenter
