The patch titled
Subject: checkpatch: fix krealloc reuse test
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
checkpatch-fix-krealloc-reuse-test.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: checkpatch: fix krealloc reuse test
The current krealloc test does not function correctly when the temporary
pointer return name contains the original pointer name.
Fix that by maximally matching the return pointer name and the original
pointer name and doing a separate comparison of the both names.
