The patch titled
Subject: checkpatch: rename variables to avoid confusion
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
checkpatch-rename-variables-to-avoid-confusion.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@xxxxxxx>
Subject: checkpatch: rename variables to avoid confusion
The variable name "$msg_type" is sometimes used to set the message type,
and sometimes used to set the message level. This works but is kind of
confusing. Use "$msg_level" in the latter case instead, to make the code
clearer.
