Hi,

This is the friendly patch-bot of Greg Kroah-Hartman.  You have sent him
a patch that has triggered this response.  He used to manually respond
to these common problems, but in order to save his sanity (he kept
writing the same thing over and over, yet to different people), I was
created.  Hopefully you will not take offence and will fix the problem
in your patch and resubmit it so that it can be accepted into the Linux
kernel tree.

You are receiving this message because of the following common error(s)
as indicated below:

- Your patch did not apply to any known trees that Greg is in control
  of.  Possibly this is because you made it against Linus's tree, not
  the linux-next tree, which is where all of the development for the
  next version of the kernel is at.  Please refresh your patch against
  the linux-next tree, or even better yet, the development tree
  specified in the MAINTAINERS file for the subsystem you are submitting
  a patch for, and resend it.

If you wish to discuss this problem further, or you have questions about
how to resolve this issue, please feel free to respond to this email and
Greg will reply once he has dug out from the pending patches received
from other developers.

thanks,

greg k-h's patch email bot

Hi,

This is the friendly patch-bot of Greg Kroah-Hartman.  You have sent him
a patch that has triggered this response.  He used to manually respond
to these common problems, but in order to save his sanity (he kept
writing the same thing over and over, yet to different people), I was
created.  Hopefully you will not take offence and will fix the problem
in your patch and resubmit it so that it can be accepted into the Linux
kernel tree.

You are receiving this message because of the following common error(s)
as indicated below:

- Your patch did not apply to any known trees that Greg is in control
  of.  Possibly this is because you made it against Linus's tree, not
  the linux-next tree, which is where all of the development for the
  next version of the kernel is at.  Please refresh your patch against
  the linux-next tree, or even better yet, the development tree
  specified in the MAINTAINERS file for the subsystem you are submitting
  a patch for, and resend it.

If you wish to discuss this problem further, or you have questions about
how to resolve this issue, please feel free to respond to this email and
Greg will reply once he has dug out from the pending patches received
from other developers.

thanks,

greg k-h's patch email bot

We can't really do this sort of fix without the hardware to test it.
This could be the correct fix or perhaps switching to device_reset_optional()
is the correct fix.  We can't know unless we have the hardware to test.

People think silencing warnings is good, but it's actually bad.  The
warning is there to show us a potential bug.  If we silence the warning
without fixing the bug, then we it's like when your mom tells you to
clean up the room and you instead just switch off the light.  It doesn't
fix the problem, it only makes it harder to find.

Normally you don't want to see this error message when -EPROBE_DEFER is
returned because that would mean the reset controller is not yet
available and the driver should probe later again. There is
dev_err_probe() now for exactly this usecase.

When device_reset() is the wrong function then adding a return value
check will turn this into a runtime error for those who have the
hardware which will hopefully trigger them to tell us why reset_device
is wrong for them.
At least for a staging driver I find this procedure opportune.

When device_reset() is the wrong function then adding a return value
check will turn this into a runtime error for those who have the
hardware which will hopefully trigger them to tell us why reset_device
is wrong for them.
At least for a staging driver I find this procedure opportune.

That seems like sort of a jerk move...  What's the rush?  Someone will
eventually be able to test this if we just wait around for a bit.
Otherwise if no one has the hardware then eventually the driver will be
deleted.

Yeah, I know.  Wait for someone who can test it on this.  Normally we
don't require testing for staging patches.  But in this case, it's
impossible to know which is the proper fix without testing so we should
wait.  It's rude to test by breaking people's systems and hope they
report the bug.

Yeah, I know.  Wait for someone who can test it on this.  Normally we
don't require testing for staging patches.  But in this case, it's
impossible to know which is the proper fix without testing so we should
wait.  It's rude to test by breaking people's systems and hope they
report the bug.
