Nit: conventionally, the text inside [] is to be discarded by the patch recipient, so the title of this patch is ufs: fix potential NULL pointer dereferencing error in ufshcd_probe. which makes it look like a patch against fs/ufs/! There is a fashion lately of people prefixing patch titles along the lines of scsi: ufs: fix potential NULL pointer dereferencing error in ufshcd_probe. or even drivers: scsi: ufs: fix potential NULL pointer dereferencing error in ufshcd_probe. that's nuts, and I regularly turn this into a proper pathname - why not? drivers/scsi/ufs: fix potential NULL pointer dereferencing error in ufshcd_probe. I'll stop now :)
