My bet is that it is either: 1) Move of EXPORT_SYMBOL 2) Delete one line where you moved an opening brace The approch here is simple. Split the patch is two parts. One that keep the md5 sum, and a second much smaller patch that impact the md5 sum. In this way you make it easier to review the changes that impact the md5 sum.
