WTF: patch "[PATCH] drm/mgag200: Remove declaration of mgag200_mmap() from header" was seriously submitted to be applied to the 5.8-stable tree?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The patch below was submitted to be applied to the 5.8-stable tree.

I fail to see how this patch meets the stable kernel rules as found at
Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst.

I could be totally wrong, and if so, please respond to 
<stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> and let me know why this patch should be
applied.  Otherwise, it is now dropped from my patch queues, never to be
seen again.

thanks,
