"Does not apply" means you save the raw email to email.txt then download
the latest code from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git staging-next
then `cat email.txt | git am` and it fails.

Probably someone else's patch was merged ahead of yours.  Fix it up and
then resend.
