I am > seeing some patches posted with Based-on-patch-by I ignore checkpatch for things like this. It doesn't have a foggiest clue to what is standard. The only standard we truly have that counts is "Signed-off-by", as that's partially a legal thing. Everything else is info only. This patch was based on a idea by Pádraig Brady and Namhyung is giving him credit. Hmm, since I do not believe that Pádraig sent a patch, but only suggested the idea, the more "standard" tag, and actually more appropriate tag would be: Suggested-by: Pádraig Brady <p...@draigbrady.com> Also, we probably should add: Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1427329943-16896-1-git-send-email-namhy...@kernel.org Which has more of a history for this patch. > > Anyway, I have this patch tagged for 4.1-rc2 Why rc2? -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
