I've banned Markus from sending cleanups in parts of the kernel where I have a voice (drivers/staging). Bugfixes are welcome, but cleanups are not. I've done this before for other people who introduce a bunch of bugs in clean up patches. It's all about ratios... Each clean up patch has chance of introducing a bug. If you only send clean up patches then you only introduce bugs. We really don't want people sending patches if they introduce more bugs than they fix. regards, dan carpenter From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: Received: (majordomo@vger.kernel.org) by vger.kernel.org via listexpand id S1754479AbcJUHwD (ORCPT ); Fri, 21 Oct 2016 03:52:03 -0400 Received: from aserp1040.oracle.com ([141.146.126.69]:31620 "EHLO aserp1040.oracle.com" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1753247AbcJUHwB (ORCPT ); Fri, 21 Oct 2016 03:52:01 -0400 Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2016 10:51:43 +0300 From: Dan Carpenter To: Jiri Kosina Cc: SF Markus Elfring , Geert Uytterhoeven , LKML , kernel-janitors@vger.kernel.org Subject: Re: [PATCH 5/6] FRV-setup: Fix indentation in two lines Message-ID: <20161021075142.GS4469@mwanda> References: <1405b16a-c470-531d-458d-fb6042b93230@users.sourceforge.net> <81f557b2-40f3-0625-331d-c5b115f1971c@users.sourceforge.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.21 (2010-09-15) X-Source-IP: userv0021.oracle.com [156.151.31.71] Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I don't think changing check_patch.pl or CodingStyle will help...
