Hi Simran,

It's helpful to state right in the subject line what you removed.
ie.  remove unused function atomisp_set_stop_timeout()

If you do that, scan's or grep'ing the git log pretty oneline's can 
easily see this without having to dig into the log.

(gitpretty='git log --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit')

Can you share to Outreachy group how you found this?  By inspection
or otherwise??

Thanks,
alisons

At least for the rtl8192u patch submitted:

It's also helpful to read the comment you remove
and determine if what you are doing is the correct
thing to do and explain why it's OK in the commit
message. (fractured english below notwithstanding)

 /* These function were added to load crypte module autoly */
