Thanks for the information.

We noticed that the base and prerequisite patches are mentioned in the
commit message:

---
This patch applies on v6.3-rc3, after the following patch series from Mark

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230306-arm64-fgt-reg-gen-v3-0-decba93cbaab@kernel.org/


The robot couldn't understand above description, and it is recommended
to use `git format-patch --base` to generate base info.

Please refer to the documents in:
https://git-scm.com/docs/git-format-patch#_base_tree_information

For this case, the correct order of patches would be:

             arm64: Disable EL2 traps for BRBE instructions executed in EL1
             arm64/sysreg: Convert HFGITR_EL2 to automatic generation
             arm64/sysreg: Convert HFG[RW]TR_EL2 to automatic generation
e8d018dd0257 Linux 6.3-rc3

Please checkout to the patch and do `git format-patch --base
e8d018dd0257 -1`, it will generate base info in the footer of the
patch:

base-commit: e8d018dd0257f744ca50a729e3d042cf2ec9da65
prerequisite-patch-id: 6f448444c7a40a44146d4ecbfa57190ae30a257f
prerequisite-patch-id: 484c605fa9d35d776eda3c47ab95a24841712885

Then the robot can parse this info to select base and apply
prerequisite patches as expected.
