Update state char array and then remove unused and stale macros, which are kernel internal representations and not encouraged to use anymore.
A couple of things. First, the change logs of every commit need to specify the "why". The subject can say "what", but the change log really needs to explain why this patch is important. For example, this patch is really two changes (and thus should actually be two patches). (I'll also comment on the other patches) 1. The update of the state char array. You should explain why it's being updated. If it was wrong, it needs to state the commit that changed to make that happen. 2. For the removing the stale macros, the change log can simply state that the macros are unused in the code and are being removed. Finally, I know you're eager to get this patch set in, but please hold off sending a new version immediately after a comment or two. Some maintainers prefer submitters to wait a week or so, otherwise you will tend to "spam" their inboxes. There's more than one maintainer Cc'd on this series, and you need to be courteous not to send too many emails in a short period of time. -- Steve
