You must have a proper "From:" in your patch mail - not only your mail address. And it should match your Signed-off-by line.
There is an issue with some Linux distributions where network interfaces are up and active, but do not have the correct link-local address. This condition is now checked and output to stderr to help better users troubleshoot this issue.
Please don't use overlong lines in the commit message. We normally use the 75 chars per line limit from Linux's checkpatch.

This signed-off-by has an invalid formatted e-mail. I think it should have been:

Changelog to v1 is missing. You can use tools like b4 [1] to improve your patch workflow.

This newline doesn't make any sense.

You should precheck your patches with the most recent linux-next's checkpatch. Something like:
~/linux-next/scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict 0001-alfred-add-more-verbose-error-message.patch
