Three update suggestions were taken into account
from static source code analysis.

Markus Elfring (3):
  Delete an error message for a failed memory allocation in s5p_mfc_probe()
  Improve a size determination ins5p_mfc_alloc_memdev()
  Adjust a null pointer check in four functions

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2017 22:30:09 +0200

Replace the specification of a data structure by a pointer dereference
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding size
determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Will it be sufficient that a patch committer will adjust
the summary phrase a bit?

In this case not, but actually the Date line is not an issue.  Anyway
the patch is malformed, please try to save your posted patch and apply
with git am and see how finally the commit message looks like.

> * Would you like to support special characters in the commit message?

I can't see any need for special characters in the patch itself.
Please submit the patch in a way that it can be applied properly with
patchwork client (or git am).

I would suggest switching to git send-email, then issues like
above could be easily avoided.

Thanks for your information.

It seems then that you quoted a line too much.


> Anyway the patch is malformed, …

I have got doubts for this view because the file was automatically generated
by the command “git format-patch” also for the discussed three update steps.

Generating patch is only part of the story, it seems the patch is not sent
properly and tags which should be in SMTP header end up in the message
body. I think there would not be such issues if you have used git format-patch
+ git send-email.

I normally do amend things like this while applying, I will do that this time 
as well. It's already too much time wasted for such a dubious patch.

I can follow this view in principle.

I got an other impression.

I agree that extra message fields were presented by the git software for
a reason.
You might have got other opinions about the original reason (than me).

I have got also doubts about your corresponding expectations when you
would find
the proposed commit message itself acceptable (besides the small source
code changes).

That is interesting.

Such an action can also be nice.

A bit of time is needed to resolve a temporary disagreement.
