Oh FFS. So you generated a patch based on the contents of a mere
comment? That is NOT how kernel development should be done. Do not do
this.
Comments are not always correct. I guess you don't even have the
hardware, which makes your approach to "kernel development" even more
absurd.
NAK to this patch. NAK to *all* your patches whether I've seen them or
not if this is how you behave.
