Hi Greg,
for me the action was "clean up the defines in rf69.c". So for me it was
fine, that two defines were moved and several other deleted at the same.
Is it ok for you, or should I split the patch belated?
Please split it up, and make a patch series. Don't dribble patches out
over many hours as that just ensures that I will apply them in the wrong
order :(
Take the time, make a patch series, test that they pass the scripts that
we have, and then send them all out at once.
thanks,

Hi Greg,
thanks for the info on patch series. I thought series are to be used if
the patches are logicaly linked together. Didn't know, that patch series
even is ok, if the patches deal with different topics.
I am working with kernel quite rarely. So it's quite hard to do
everything 100% correct. I already took a lot of time today, to try to
make everything perfect. That's why I was working on these five patches
for all the day (aka 7h). And there was no need to implement a single
line - everything was already implemented and tested on HW in July.
But 7h weren't enough or wasted: Again not a single patch was ok :-(
I can understand, your time is limited, too. But with constantly having
no success and constant redo from start, the motivation is fading. Don't
know, whether there could be a better way, how to build up a volunteer.
This way - I am sorry - is frustrating.
Since I have another peace of software, that needs to be implemented
(not just moved into patches) for a customer (paying for it) until
tomorrow, I will leave / have to leave the hobby topic pi433 for now.
Please skip all my patches and I'll give them a third try - maybe
arround Christmas...
Thanks,
Marcus
