Yes, I confirm removing the footer solves the problem when using 'patch'
rather than 'git am'.

But then even 'patch' gives up at the subsequent patch:

$ patch -p1 -i RESEND-5-14-staging-media-as102-checkpatch-fixes.patch 
patching file drivers/staging/media/as102/as10x_cmd_stream.c
Hunk #3 FAILED at 111.
1 out of 3 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file drivers/staging/media/as102/as10x_cmd_stream.c.rej

Anyway, thanks for your work, I ended up applying patches 1..3/14, 7..10 (RESEND), 
and 13..14/14 onto staging/for_v3.2 branch (http://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git).
The driver works fine then with my PCTV 74e stick.

I have never had any issues with git send-email, and it's quite easy to setup
and convenient to use with larger patch series.
