I've told you not to review patches to the xHCI driver three times now.
This is not "another rule", this is something I've asked you to avoid
already.

I've been asking you to change how you review your patches because you
can't seem to pick up on the social cues that nitpicking patches about
only grammar and random code style issues is not constructive.  You
don't seem to be getting the hint, hence the ALL CAPS and blunt words.

Serious issues are fine to bring up, either for my patches or for
patches that people send for the xHCI.  However, the vast majority of
comments I see from you are simply grammar comments or nitpicking of
code style that checkpatch.pl doesn't complain about.

At some point, your signal to noise ratio is so low that most kernel
developers are just going to start tuning you out.  Greg already put
your email into /dev/null.  Do you want other kernel developers to do so
as well?

If you want *serious bugs* to be acted on, then just send email about
*serious bugs*.  Or include a mix of comments about grammar/code style
in with comments about serious code issues.

Please increase your signal to noise ratio, or I will continue to send
you scathing emails when you nitpick xHCI patches.
