The patch titled Subject: checkpatch: ## is not a valid modifier has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was checkpatch-is-not-a-valid-modifier.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: checkpatch: ## is not a valid modifier Inserting a # into the modifiers list will incorrectly add the null string to the modifiers list, leading to an infinite loop. As neither of these is a valid modifier form simply ignore them.
