You should *not* add the [U-Boot] tag to the message, this is done by the 
mailinglist software.

The wiki states to use:
$> git format-patch --subject-prefix="PATCH v2"

Current git allows a simpler variant, "--reroll-count", or short "-v":
$> git format-patch -v 2


"git send-email" has no "--subject-prefix" nor "-M" nor "-<n>" option. Just 
use
$> git send-email --to=<xxx> --cc <yyy> outgoing/*

Formatting and sending patches are two independent steps. You can't apply/copy 
options from one command to the other.

Prior to sending the patch, you *should* edit the 0000-cover-letter.patch.

Kind regards,

Stefan
