Hi Scott, I love your patch! Perhaps something to improve: [auto build test WARNING on char-misc/char-misc-testing] [also build test WARNING on kselftest/next linus/master v5.6-rc2] [cannot apply to driver-core/driver-core-testing next-20200221] [if your patch is applied to the wrong git tree, please drop us a note to help improve the system.
