on a separate line, as required by the kernel coding style.

Hi,

This is the friendly patch-bot of Greg Kroah-Hartman.  You have sent him
a patch that has triggered this response.  He used to manually respond
to these common problems, but in order to save his sanity (he kept
writing the same thing over and over, yet to different people), I was
created.  Hopefully you will not take offence and will fix the problem
in your patch and resubmit it so that it can be accepted into the Linux
kernel tree.

You are receiving this message because of the following common error(s)
as indicated below:

- Your patch did not apply to any known trees that Greg is in control
  of.  Possibly this is because you made it against Linus's tree, not
  the linux-next tree, which is where all of the development for the
  next version of the kernel is at.  Please refresh your patch against
  the linux-next tree, or even better yet, the development tree
  specified in the MAINTAINERS file for the subsystem you are submitting
  a patch for, and resend it.


If you wish to discuss this problem further, or you have questions about
how to resolve this issue, please feel free to respond to this email and
Greg will reply once he has dug out from the pending patches received
from other developers.

thanks,

greg k-h's patch email bot

You are right, I apologize. The commit message was incorrect.
The actual change was reverting an accidental capitalization
introduced in v1. I will drop this patch.

Best regards,

Hm... this is the 8th version of this patch that I've seen.

I don't know why there was a flurry of these. The checkpatch warning
certainly isn't new, so maybe this was a new wave of janitors or
something? Or maybe people using AI agents to get into kernel
development. Not that it matters much, but it's not a pattern that I've
seen before.

Also, the fact that 7 out of the 8 versions came in after the first had
already landed in linux-next:

  29e79c66b3cc ("staging: nvec: fix block comment style in nvec_interrupt()")

suggests that people aren't using linux-next as their baseline. Do we
need to be stricter in this regard? Seems a bit wasteful for you to have
to spend so much time looking at duplicates, even though it seems like
your automation did a lot of the work.
