Okay, understand (about formatting of subject, RESEND noise and no cover letter for single patches). Just never send reverts before (especially when it's re-send from 2012 year). It's easy to see comment in patch with subject: [PATCH RESEND 1/1] Revert "spi/doc: spi_master_put must be followed up by kfree" It's in drivers/spi/spi.c, line 1440 in tag v4.2 released ~ 5 days ago. Comment for function spi_alloc_master(). Sorry. Right now I see how I screwed up. Should I re-send it as single patch with all info included (marking as RESEND)? -- Best regards, Klimov Alexey -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-spi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
