Hi all, I am trying to run checkpatch.pl on latest kernel version 5.1.0 source tree from orig head 80f232121b69cc69a31ccb2b38c1665d770b0710 When I run checkpatch.pl, for every file I get the follwong or similar error. Could you please help if this is my environment issue or actually error in code which I need to fix ? I executed the following in command prompt. perl scripts/checkpatch.pl -f drivers/staging/rtl8712/* |less The error I observe drivers/staging/rtl8712/rtl871x_rf.h FAIL: "Blob or Tree named 'other' not found" Traceback (most recent call last): File "scripts/spdxcheck.py", line 240, in spdx = read_spdxdata(repo) File "scripts/spdxcheck.py", line 41, in read_spdxdata for el in lictree[d].traverse(): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/git/objects/tree.py", line 298, in __getitem__ return self.join(item) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/git/objects/tree.py", line 244, in join raise KeyError(msg % file) KeyError: "Blob or Tree named 'other' not found" total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 0 checks, 56 lines checked Please suggest me.

Re: how to determine whether the source code is same between two kernels
You could use "Beyond Compare" to compare these two bin or source files. Valdis Klētnieks 于2019年5月11日周六 下午9:53写道： > On Sat, 11 May 2019 09:20:22 -0400, Aruna Hewapathirane said: > > > Seriously ?
