The patch titled Subject: checkpatch: fix UNNECESSARY_KERN_LEVEL false positive has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was checkpatch-fix-unnecessary_kern_level-false-positive.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: checkpatch: fix UNNECESSARY_KERN_LEVEL false positive KERN_<LEVEL> is never redundant with printk_ratelimited or printk_once. (Except perhaps in the sense that you could use e.g. pr_err_ratelimited or pr_err_once, but that would apply to printk as well).
