The script “checkpatch.pl” pointed information out like the following.

Comparison to NULL could be written …

Thus fix the affected source code places.

Can you resend with that 4 lines removed? Are you using git send-email
for sending patches?

* Do you care to preserve an information like the author date?

Not so far.

In this case not, but actually the Date line is not an issue.  Anyway
the patch is malformed, please try to save your posted patch and apply
with git am and see how finally the commit message looks like.

I can't see any need for special characters in the patch itself.
Please submit the patch in a way that it can be applied properly with
patchwork client (or git am).

I would suggest switching to git send-email, then issues like
above could be easily avoided.

Thanks for your information.

It seems then that you quoted a line too much.

I have got doubts for this view because the file was automatically generated
by the command “git format-patch” also for the discussed three update steps.

Generating patch is only part of the story, it seems the patch is not sent
properly and tags which should be in SMTP header end up in the message
body. I think there would not be such issues if you have used git format-patch
+ git send-email.

I normally do amend things like this while applying, I will do that this time 
as well. It's already too much time wasted for such a dubious patch.

I can follow this view in principle.

I got an other impression.

I agree that extra message fields were presented by the git software for
a reason.
You might have got other opinions about the original reason (than me).

I have got also doubts about your corresponding expectations when you
would find
the proposed commit message itself acceptable (besides the small source
code changes).

That is interesting.


> I will do that this time as well.

Such an action can also be nice.

A bit of time is needed to resolve a temporary disagreement.
