Please integrate scripts/checkpatch.pl into your patch creation
workflow. Some of the warnings/errors *actually* make sense.

In this case:

WARNING: DT compatible string "nuvoton,npcm750-memory-controller" appears un-documented -- check ./Documentation/devicetree/bindings/
#35: FILE: arch/arm/boot/dts/nuvoton-common-npcm7xx.dtsi:110:
+                       compatible = "nuvoton,npcm750-memory-controller";

For that I'm guessing patch 2 needs to go first in the series.

In any case, the first two need an ACK from devicetree folks.

WARNING: From:/Signed-off-by: email address mismatch: 'From: Medad CChien <medadyoung@...il.com>' != 'Signed-off-by: Medad CChien <ctcchien@...oton.com>'

For this one I wasn't sure so I had to ask: I guess it kinda makes sense
to have the From: be the same as your SOB email. I.e., make sure the
right authorship and SOB is maintained even when sending from machines
with broken email setups.

And that you can fix very easily: just add in your .git/config:

[user]
        name = Medad CChien
        email = ctcchien@...oton.com

and git would use that as the author and also slap a From: at the
beginning of the patch with the correct name and email address.

HTH.
