Thanks, I just used git format-patch to generate the cover-letter and 
didn't notice this.

It looks like the file, pixfmt-reserved.rst, has different path in 
different Linux kernel,

* 5.4:           Documentation/media/uapi/v4l/pixfmt-reserved.rst

* 5.10/5.15: Documentation/userspace-api/media/v4l/pixfmt-reserved.rst

5.4 is the one I based to submit the patches.

Could you suggest the kernel that I should based to submit these patches??

I will need to change the number of V4L2_CID_USER_ASPEED_BASE per different

linux kernel as well.
