I have repeatedly received patches with the very same subject and with
the very similar content but without further explanation.  It's too
confusing.

Please look through the git commit history of this file, and re-read
your patch.  Then, consider a more useful subject / description, and
resubmit the patch.


thanks,

Takashi

Hi Takashi,

We're doing enablement of machines and several of them need pin quirks 
in order to have the headset mic working. Since these machines are 
pre-release, we are not allowed to make the final name of the machine 
public (e g, "Dell XPS 13"). For the same reason, we cannot give you 
alsa-info either.

Given this constraint, how do you suggest we improve the subject / 
description? Or should we wait to submit upstream until the machine has 
been released to the market?

I don't mean to give alsa-info.sh output or such.  The problem is that
it's always with the same subject and the same text.  How do you know
it's for what and apply in which order?

At least you should try the patch looks different with each other,
describe the relationship with previous commits, etc.


thanks,

Takashi

Right, so merely change the semantics, like "One more headset quirk", 
"Yet another headset quirk", "a totally splendid headset quirk", "oh 
look it's a headset quirk", "a headset quirk for a sunny day", and so on?

The relationship with previous commits is that they fix the same problem 
for different machines, so they're usually independent of each other.

Even that is better than the current form.  You can mention which
patch is the second patch that should be applied after which commit.
Or, you can give a bit more specific information like the codec name.
And you can name the difference of pincfgs from others.  We need to
know *why* this change is needed.

But it is: you cannot apply the patch cleanly if you don't follow the
order.
