Uhhh, this is very strange.

Above is correct code which I sent.

But look what was applied:

 struct tegra_bpmp *tegra_bpmp_get(struct device *dev)
 {
+       struct device_node *np __free(device_node);

That's very different.

See commit 8812b8689ee6 ("firmware: tegra: bpmp: Use scoped device node
handling to simplify error paths").

Commit msg does not explain at all why my code was changed. It is not
only a courtesy but also requirement to mark changes done to commits
when applying.

Shall I assume more of my patches were silently changed when applied,
including adding questionable code there?


Best regards,
