I´m not an expert with GIT, but I would suggest the following change to avoid unnecessary commits:
1. Create my own testing branch: "git branch testing"
2. Switch to this branch: "git checkout testing"
3. Copy/modify files
4. Create temporary patch from local changes: "git diff > temporary.patch"
5. Check this patch with checkpatch.pl
6. If errors found: go back to step 3, else go to step 7
7. Add the new/modified files with "git add board/xilinx/fx12mm/"
8. Commit the changes with "git commit -a"
9. Create a patch with "git format-patch origin"
10. Check this patch with checkpatch.pl
