Can you please describe why the original method of setting nerrors was
incorrect? Was it causing any issues in any particular configuration?
Mentioning this will help maintainers assign priority to your patch. If
this is a real bug affecting existing platforms, then there is a chance
this patch can get into v3.7 (or at least into v3.8-rc1).
Like Peter who commented on this before, I am not a fan of using macros
for self-describing constants - especially when you end up using the
same numbers inside the macro name itself. No need to resend any thing
just for this, you can wait to see if the maintainers are okay with it.
Thanks,
Sekhar
