No, this was created using git format-patch --word-diff, which for
continuous text is much better parsable (for a human at least).

The same chang in the more usual form looks as follows:

diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/pwm.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/pwm.rst
index 381f3c46cdac..a7ca4f58305a 100644
--- a/Documentation/driver-api/pwm.rst
+++ b/Documentation/driver-api/pwm.rst
@@ -55,11 +55,11 @@ several parameter at once. For example, if you see pwm_config() and
 pwm_{enable,disable}() calls in the same function, this probably means you
 should switch to pwm_apply_state().
 
-The PWM user API also allows one to query the last applied PWM state with
-pwm_get_last_applied_state(). Note this is different to what the driver has

 In addition to the PWM state, the PWM API also exposes PWM arguments, which
 are the reference PWM config one should use on this PWM.

With that it's hardly possible to identify what I actually changed.

I just noticed that the patch is not only incompatible for you but also
git-am cannot apply it, so I will have to resend. :-\

Best regards
Uwe
