I don't give a toss if the patch is logically a NOP, and 'is not wrong'.

The commit message was completely bogus, and the backtrace was from some
random out-of-tree junk that was obviously not tested against the
current target-pending/for-next.

And to top it off, I've already pointed out these facts three months
ago, and you just ignored the response.

The point is, it's sloppy and means I have to repeat myself over and
over again.

Not to mention in that very same thread from three months ago, I asked
(again( to stop mixing bug-fixes with random improvements:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/target-devel/msg14665.html

"To reiterate the importance of having bug-fixes, especially those
intended for stable, always be leading other patches..

There is no way for a maintainer to know which bug-fixes are to existing
code unless they precede all other patches and not intermixed with
various other changes.  The bug-fixes to existing upstream code need to
be tested on their own without the other changes (especially those that
effect the same area) invalidating the tests."

How many more times will I have to repeat myself before it sinks in..?
