Paul,

I want to apologize for my mistakes and hope that I did not cause everyone a 
lot of time and effort on clean up. I will review the necessary documentation 
and follow the guides provided.

Thanks for pointing out the errors,
Kent

Hello,

Thank you for your work and I hope for a fruitful collaboration,
proper vendor support is always a good thing to have both for the
users and for the IC vendor.

However, all of your submissions are not directly applicable, please
try to follow HACKING more closely.

The main issue is that when you are offering a patch series, you're
supposed to simply have a local branch that you push to Gerrit. Then
each single commit of that branch will be handled as a separate change
by Gerrit but it'll show the commit parent(s) in "Related". Each patch
in series should be fully cleaned up and consistent, and in the
correct order. It's usually easy to do with "git rebase
-i". All checkpatch errors are easy to spot before actually pushing to
Gerrit, as per instructions in HACKING you are supposed to "run
tools/checkpatch.sh to verify your patch style is ok".

When you push a new version of an existing patch you must keep
Change-Id line intact (it happens automatically if you simply amend
the commit without removing that line), that will make Gerrit create a
new version of an existing change.

Also, please try to follow the rules for the commit messages:

topic: Short comment
<blank line>
Longer comments over several lines, explaining (where applicable) the
reason for the patch and the general idea the solution is based on,
any major design decisions, etc...

Where topic in your case would be something like "target/mips32".

It would also be nice if you mentioned regression-testing results on
different targets (such as microchip mips32, broadcom mips, etc) when
touching potentially sensitive code, and my impression is that most of
the MIPS code in OpenOCD can give one unpleasant surprises. Please
also take into account running OpenOCD on big-endian hosts,
live-testing MIPS there would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance!
