Yeah. Me either. Those rules are for Outreachy so they don't apply to anyone else, but at the same time no one is going to Ack your patches without seeing them and especially for a subsystem they don't maintain. I always try to think about if maintainers will want my patches. Like I sometimes see people returning -1 instead of -ENOMEM but, you know, unless it reaches user space it's not technically a bug. You can't go around fixing everyone's bad taste. But everyone likes bug fixes. regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
