The patch titled Subject: checkpatch: printks always need a KERN_<LEVEL> has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was checkpatch-printks-always-need-a-kern_level.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: checkpatch: printks always need a KERN_<LEVEL> There was code in checkpatch that allowed continuation printks to be used without KERN_CONT. Remove the continuation check and always require a KERN_<LEVEL>.
