Sorry for cross posting to netdev and linux-acpi. I submitted almost same patch about thermal subsystem both netdev list and then linux-acpi list. http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=136371412725264&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=136386050309109&w=2 After submitting to linux-acpi list, I noticed the patch is merged to a tree davem maintained. What I should do? The submitted pathes are bit different. In netdev, I proposed changing "thermal_mc_group" to "thermal_mc_grp". In linux-acpi I proposed changing "thermal_mc_group" to "thermal_mc_grou". "thermal_mc_grp" is easier to read. However, when thinking about compatibility, "thermal_mc_grou" is better. I've already submitted another patch for genl command which truncates the C string returned from kernel. http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=136371412625262&w=2 Consider a situation(A); using old kernel(without my patch submitted for linux-acpi) and new genl command (with my patch for genl). You will get thermal_mc_grou as output. Consider anther situation(B); using new kernel(with my patch submitted for linux-acpi) and old genl command (without my patch for genl). You will get thermal_mc_grou as output. In both situations(A and B) users can get the same output. If you choose "thermal_mc_grp", users may see "thermal_mc_grp" or "thermal_mc_grou". >>> From: Masatake YAMATO <yamato@xxxxxxxxxx> >>> Date: Tue, 19 Mar 2013 20:47:28 +0900 >>> >>>> The original name is too long. >>>> >>>> Signed-off-by: Masatake YAMATO <yamato@xxxxxxxxxx> >>> >>> This change needs to go in via the Thermal driver maintainers. >> >> Thanks.

I read but I didn't understand the meaning of applying because I cannot find my 2nd patch for thermal in net-next tree when I pulled. What I should do? Should I withdraw the patch submitted to linux-acpi? However, I slight modified the patch when I submitted it to linux-acpi. > And in the future, order your patches such that you fix the bug before > adding the assertion. Sorry. I'll do so next time.
