Subject: [PATCH 2/2] omap3: sr: improve errors handling
From: Artem Bityutskiy <[email protected]>
Do not forget to check the 'platform_device_add_data()' error code
in 'omap_device_build_ss()'.
Hello Artem,
Can we have a better subject and description. The subject esp has got
nothing to do with the fix.
Hmm, I do not see why you think so. I think the subject is fine - the
patch improves error handling in the SR code. Then description says how
exactly it improves it - it makes the code to not forget to check the
return code, and it tells in which function and which return code.
So the logic is:
1. The subject line is a short description which gives the idea what the
commit is about. So, my subject line says:
1.1. It is about omap3 (which is true)
1.2. It is about sr (which is true)
I think Thara's contention is that this is omap_device related- yeah SR
is one of the users of omap_device, but there are much more folks using
omap_device in l-o today.
1.3. It improves error handling (which is also true)
So the subject line is descriptive enough. It does not have to provide
all glory details.
Then the description provides the details.
