I recently submitted a patch (attached below) that corrects a couple of 'sparse' warnings in drivers/staging/rtl8192u/r8192U_dm.c. I got this reply back from greg k-h: > This patch does not apply to my tree at all :( > Please rebase it against linux-next and try again. However, I thought I *was* working off linux-next. This is what I did: $ git remote add linux-next https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git $ git fetch linux-next $ git fetch --tags linux-next $ git remote update $ git checkout next-20170310 $ git apply 0001-staging-rtl8192u-use-__le16_to_cpu-instead-of-cast.patch ... and the patch applied ok. Just to be sure, I also did this: $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git $ git apply 0001-staging-rtl8192u-use-__le16_to_cpu-instead-of-cast.patch ... and the patch again applied OK. What am I doing wrong / where should I go for more info?
