Thanks ... still, is there some key for those tags? Or do you invent them

Documentation directory gets me nothing.

There is no official document for this.

Hm, maybe such document can be introduced?
Sounds like a voluteer ;) More seriously I suspect it would never get
updated or be correct in the first place. It would be a pile of grief
for whoever was looking after it.

Mostly these prefixes are an excuse for grumpy maintainers to moan
at people :)

But generally, each subsystem
has a convention on the subject prefix, so that the output of git
commands like git pull, git shortlog looks consistent on the patch
subject, and more importantly people can easily know subsystem the
patch touches.

The convention for patches touching arch/arm is "ARM: ".

Shawn

Best regards,
