This patch has nothing to do with reusing the code or shortening call chains. Don't use a link like that in the commit message especially when it's a link to an email you wrote. If it's someone else's email you can say, somethink like "As <name> points out in <his/her> email <url>. Blah blah blah." That way you give credit to the other person but all the information is in the commit message. A better commit message would be: Clean up usbctrl_vendorreq(). 1) Remove impossible NULL check. 2) Rename variables: pintfhdl => intfhdl pdata => data pIo_buf => io_buf 3) Edit the comments. > Co-developed-by: Pavel Skripkin <paskripkin@xxxxxxxxx> > Signed-off-by: Pavel Skripkin <paskripkin@xxxxxxxxx> > Signed-off-by: Fabio M.

But the original was better.
