The patch titled
kobject: kobject_uevent() returns manageable value
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
kobject-kobject_uevent-returns-manageable-value.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: kobject: kobject_uevent() returns manageable value
From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@xxxxxxxxx>
Since kobject_uevent() function does not return an integer value to
indicate if its operation was completed with success or not, it is worth
changing it in order to report a proper status (success or error) instead
of returning void.
