./scripts/checkpatch.pl --file --terse drivers/power/supply/sbs-charger.c 
git diff
git commit -a
git branch 
git format-patch feb583e3..sbs-charger-bool

Then after getting comments, code, commit, format-patch:

git format-patch --subject-prefix="PATCH v2" feb583e3..sbs-charger-bool-v2

Find out who it should go to with one of these options: 

./scripts/get_maintainer.pl 0001-Power-Supply-sbs-charger-simplfied-bool-function.patch 
./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/power/supply/sbs-charger.c

And email it: 

./scripts/checkpatch.pl 0001-Power-supply-sbs-charger-simplified-bool-function.patch 
git send-email --to sre@kernel.org --cc linux-pm@vger.kernel.org --cc linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org --cc nicolassaenzj@gmail.com 0001-Power-supply-sbs-charger-simplified-bool-function.patch
