It's just a bit of a pain to verify that the Extra From matches the email headers. Also sometimes people can't get their corporate email configured properly for patches and so they use gmail but specify an Extra From so their employer gets credit... That's ok. The patches apply fine so it's not a "redo the patch" type thing, it's just a "In the long term, please, fix your email From header so the Extra From isn't needed." regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
