[U-Boot] how to create patches for mailing

[Maxim Podbereznyy]

Hi Gururaja!

Your instructions are exceptional! However I have a few questions:
1) why should I generate patches for 1st 3 patch, because I have only one?
2) if there are 3 patches (only 1 is mine) + a cover which exactly
<required-patches> should I send?

thanks!
