Ok, I see. Ideally you should try to get the company mail server fixed
of course. A possible workaround is to add your marvell address as
an alias in gmail, which allows 'git send email' to send out mails with
the other address as the sender. This may however fail if the marvell
mail server uses SPF, as mail clients might then consider your
mails as forged.

No, it's just me.
Sometimes code indentation becomes messy and difficult to read, if i use
corporate mail server to submit patches. So i have been using gmail.

Hmm, I noticed that you use a different address as the patch author
and the submitter. I'm guessing that "Sunil Goutham" and
"Sunil Kovvuri" actually refer to the same person, and you just
need to pick which of the two email addresses you want to use
for public communication, but that's not obvious here.

However, if there are actually two different Sunil's here, then
you need to add that second Signed-off-by.

I've taken a look at all the patches now, and found very little
sticking out that warranted a comment from my side, and
no real show-stoppers. That said, I found this series overall
much harder to understand than the previous ones, and don't
even know what to ask about it. My feeling is that it's probably
all fine, but that is  purely based on a review  of the individual
pieces, not the overall design and how they fit together. With the
earlier patches that I managed to get a better understanding
of, that seemed reasonable as well.
