Usually you would like to send this as two separate patches because replacing a debug message is way different than removing some code. It should look like: PATCH 0/2 staging: media: adjust debug messages PATCH 1/2 staging: media: replace dev_err... PATCH 2/2 staging: media: remove debug message.. The lirc_zilog.c is not necessary in the topic line, as this can be seen from the diff. > Signed-off-by: Aya Mahfouz <mahfouz.saif.elyazal@xxxxxxxxx> > --- > drivers/staging/media/lirc/lirc_zilog.c | 7 +------ > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 6 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/staging/media/lirc/lirc_zilog.c b/drivers/staging/media/lirc/lirc_zilog.c > index 11a7cb1..ba538cd4 100644 > --- a/drivers/staging/media/lirc/lirc_zilog.c > +++ b/drivers/staging/media/lirc/lirc_zilog.c > @@ -1336,11 +1336,6 @@ static int close(struct inode *node, struct file *filep) > /* find our IR struct */ > struct IR *ir = filep->private_data; > > - if (ir == NULL) { > - dev_err(ir->l.dev, "close: no private_data attached to the file!\n"); > - return -ENODEV; > - } > - What is the reason behind this change? What would happen if the filep->private_data is NULL? Are the callers of this function aware that it will not return ENODEV anymore? thanks, konrad > atomic_dec(&ir->open_count); > > put_ir_device(ir, false); > @@ -1633,7 +1628,7 @@ out_put_xx: > out_put_ir: > put_ir_device(ir, true); > out_no_ir: > - dev_err(ir->l.dev, "%s: probing IR %s on %s (i2c-%d) failed with %d\n", > + pr_err("%s: probing IR %s on %s (i2c-%d) failed with %d\n", > __func__, tx_probe ?
