Please use present-tense as outlined here:
https://kernelnewbies.org/PatchPhilosophy
So rename instead of renamed

Please use a more unique Subject for your coverletter.
It often cannot cover everything. But more unique is better.



Tested-by: Philipp Hortmann <philipp.g.hortmann@xxxxxxxxx>

Okay, "rename" it be, instead of me thinking in the past simple tense,
of "renamed".

As for the coverletter(s)...repetition a big problem.

There's not much in the way of uniqueness that can be added...regretfully
Tagging the Subject line with a numeric value is possible and
should deviate the coverletter(s) enough so they don't "appear the same".
e.g. staging: rtl8192e: this patch series (1) blah blah blah...
e.g. staging: rtl8192e: this patch series (2) blah blah blah...
e.g. staging: rtl8192e: this patch series (3)  "    "    "

Gary


Hi Gary

Here is a proposal:
[PATCH 0/5] staging: rtl8192e: Rename variable bCurShortGI40MHz and further

That will give a pretty good recognizable name.

Thanks for your support.

Bye Philipp
