docs: submitting-patches: document the format for affiliation
Adding company name in round brackets to From/SoB lines
is fairly common, but I don't see it documented anywhere.
Every now and then people try to add the sponsorship lines
to the commit message, fun example from this merge window:
Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation
from commit 2ce67f8bf1 ("wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: fix iwl_ssid_exist()
check"). Better format would be:
Author: Miri Korenblit (FreeBSD Foundation) <...
Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <[email protected]>
Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <[email protected]>
