Hi Devendra.

A reasonable rule of thumb is use the deepest directory
path basename you can to prefix the patch.
Something like:

[PATCH] $(basename $(dirname $file)): terse description

If you are patching drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/apt.c
this becomes:

[PATCH] realtek: terse description

There are some exceptions though. One of them
is if the patch is in staging, prefix with
[PATCH] staging: $(basename $(dirname $file)): description

cheers, Joe
