Usually, patch mails do not contain mail headers within their body; the
only possible exception is 'From:' if the sender is not the patch
author.  These additional headers prevent the usual patch application
(e.g. 'git am <mail').

A commit subject should start with a subsystem identifier.  A commit
message should tell about the what and why of the patch, followed by a
'Signed-of-by'.  E.g.:

   kbuild: fixdep: Remove unused includes

   Remove unused #include statements for clean up.

   Signed-off-by: Your Name <[email protected]>

(More complex changes require more details commit message).

Please check Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst.

The change in scripts/basic/fixdep.c looks good to me.  Do you want to
prepare a new kbuild-only patch and want me to take it for kbuild?

Kind regards,
Nicolas
