The new text also doesn't improve so significantly, honestly speaking. Also the patch description is just a copy of the documentation, which also doesn't help for understanding about your change. It should clarify what changed for which reason. thanks, Takashi > > Signed-off-by: Myroslav Demchenko > --- > Documentation/sound/alsa-configuration.rst | 6 +++--- > 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/Documentation/sound/alsa-configuration.rst b/Documentation/sound/alsa-configuration.rst > index 55b845d38236..a3d8da5a3f6c 100644 > --- a/Documentation/sound/alsa-configuration.rst > +++ b/Documentation/sound/alsa-configuration.rst > @@ -142,9 +142,9 @@ in primary usage, and people would like to assign it as the first > appearing card.
