Use "git commit" to commit your changes to tree

git-format-patch -M --signoff --stat -p --raw -n -3 --cover-letter

-3 == generate patches for 1st 3 patch 
-n = use n/n style
--cover-letter == Generate Cover letter (0/n patch)

Use git-send-email to send patches

git-send-email --to ' u-boot at lists.denx.de'  --cc 'maintainers at email.id' --cc 'related_developer at email.id'  --cc 'self_for_reference at email.id' --suppress-cc=all <required-patches>
