@Manoj: While the code in the patch looks fine, I do see a couple issues with the DEP-3 headers:

I'd suggest starting with the git commit, including all the metadata, and adding the DEP-3 specific fields (Origin, Bug) to the end of the header.

> Origin: upstream, https://github.com/linux-nvme/nvme-cli

Origin should be the URL of the commit, not the repository.

> Bug: https://launchpad.net/bugs/##

This isn't a valid URL, and it should be a pointer to the upstream bug, if one exists. The "Bug-Ubuntu" field should be used to provide a pointer to the Ubuntu bug in LP.

> Forwarded: not-needed

Well, technically it *is* needed since it was applied upstream. I'd suggest just omitting this field though, it only really makes sense if it is a vendor-specific patch.
