The merge window is open.  No one is applying patches until -rc1 comes
out.

This one is not redone in the right way.  The subject is wrong:

 Bad: [PATCH v4:No Change] xHCI:Fixing xhci_readl definition and function call
Good: [PATCH v4] xHCI: Fixing xhci_readl definition and function call

There should be a note under the --- line to say what changed and why
you are resending.  It's not helpful to say "No Change" because actually
there were many changes.

---
v4: Update to apply on linux-next.

regards,
dan carpenter
