Hey Ralf, thanks for following up with patches as we discussed in private! Small nit: you will want to use the active form ("Fix typo" instead of "Fixed typo") in your commit messages.So even my language skills got improved ;-)This is grammatically correct, but using imperative form is the convention in the kernel. As per Documentation/SubmittingPatches: Describe your changes in imperative mood, e.g. "make xyzzy do frotz" instead of "[This patch] makes xyzzy do frotz" or "[I] changed xyzzy to do frotz", as if you are giving orders to the codebase to change its behaviour.quoted

It would also be nice if the commit title was a little more precise about where the typo has been corrected.Uhm - as this is be pretty small non-diff-related change... Is it necessary to send a v3 or would it also be okay to let the maintainer amend the subject? (to sth.: like "ARM: tegra: Fix the same C&P typo in several dts includes")Let's see what Thierry says about this.
I've changed this when applying and also added a full commit message. Doing so might arguably be a little overkill, but in doing so I realized that the same typo was there in the Tegra132 and Tegra210 DTS includes, so I fixed those up in a separate patch while at it. I made it a separate patch because the arm-soc maintainers want arch/arm and arch/arm64 changes to come in via separate branches. I did add a Suggested-by for Ralf since he spotted the original typo, I hope that's okay with everyone. Thierry -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
