There is no "patch" being passed - your initial commit message simply states that this is a patch to add and process... Yeah, as already mentioned, saying that this is a patch in the same patch's commit message is tautological and, as we just saw, really confusing. So pls refrain from doing that. I'll use this explanation in the commit message as it is more clear. Thx. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris. https://people.kernel.org/tglx/notes-about-netiquette
