Subject: Re: [PATCH] Impact video driver for SGI Indigo2
...
framebuffer device. Without the support of PCI & AGP.
It looks like the patch is spoiled as I'm seeing two spaces at the start
of line when looking at the message source.
hmmm, that's a strange problem. The two spaces are not in the diff-file
read into the eMail and are not displayed by the MUA (pine 4.64). But
Indeed, they're not displayed (though due to "format=flowed" the patch is
not diasplyed correctly for me anyway).
indeed, where's a leading space in the diff, there's an additional space
inserted into the eMail-body. Have to find out the best way to suppress
this behaviour...
...
There are alos empty lines after each file in the patch -- which
shouldn't be there.
These were intended for readability (reviewability :), but i can remove
them easily (of course).
These will prevent the patch from applying, AFAIK.
diff --git a/drivers/video/Makefile b/drivers/video/Makefile
...
The above should be a part of the driver patch, as you can't add Makefile
targets fow which no source files exist yet.
Do you suggest to submit the ip22-setup.c-, impact.h-, impact.c-parts
alone in a first patch and then,
No, I suggest putting drivers/video/impact.* and drivers/video/*Kconfig
and drivers/video/Makefile in one patch and leaving ip22-setup.c in another
one -- the driver should be separate from the platform code IMO. The defconfig
change should also be a patch of it's own, IMO.
in a separate follow-up patch, the
Kconfig- and Makefile-parts, or just to reorder the parts in this single
patch?
No, not reorder.
with kind regards
