I'll add that, although I will say to think of checkpatch as more of a guide and not a requirement. I find there's a lot of checkpatch fixes that cause the code to be less readable. But I agree that it is useful for someone just entering the project. > > Another suggestion is, > > we should document about, how to apply the mailing list patches, which > are not yet mainlined. people can search in the internet, but different > forums will give different approaches. And I can give different approaches ;-) The approach I gave to you with patchwork may not be the best either. If I do add something here, it will to use a new tool called "b4". For example, you can apply this patch with: $ b4 am 20210405151959.1d6901b2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Where I used the Message-ID of my email. It also works with series. Anyway, thanks for the input. This was the reason I included you on this patch. -- Steve
