Subject: [PATCH] wm8940: remove unecessary if statement

the code always returns ret regardless, so if(ret) check is unecessary.

Good point, though please spell check your commit messages.
unecessary -> unnecessary

Also if you want to do this sort of cleanup, please also fix the
equivalent in wm8940_resume and wm8940_add_widgets. Ack is for
what is here, plus those if you do them.

Just as an aside, there is no earthly point in cc'ing lkml for a
simple cleanup like this. Just adds to already huge amount of noise!

oops! usually I'm the guy critiquing spelling :)

I will take a look at these, but it might be a few days. I used
coccinelle to create this patch and my semantic patch wasn't 'smart'
enough to find them.

Thanks for all of your feedback. In your opinion, what is the best way
for someone such as myself to send patches like these? I read in
Documentation/SubmittingPatches "Unless you have a reason NOT to do so,
CC [email protected]"

Also, for this embarrassing spelling problem... do I submit a new patch? :)

Thanks,
Greg

The advantage of reviewing patches in an email client that sticks wiggly
red lines under words it doesn't recognise (I'd never have noticed otherwise!)

Fair enough. The posting to lkml makes more sense now I know it came
out of coccinelle (I guess with a load of others? - if so convention would be
to put them all in a series cc'ing the relevant lists / maintainers for individual
patches in the series - that way everyone knows what is going on).

If it is an individual patch like this, then use apply common sense. It makes
no functional changes + is well within a subsystem with it's own active mailing
list. It needs to be sent somewhere publicly, but in this case
I'd say alsa-devel is the right destination. The only people who are even going
to read this are the subsystem maintainer, the driver author or the chronically
bored.

Also I think convention is to have the script somewhere (cover letter to that
series perhaps?). See the other series people have done with coccinelle and
how they handled this.

Probably easiest option, though maintainer might just fix it up for you
(best not to assume they will though).

Git history is full of typos, so I wouldn't worry too much (a good few
of them are mine for starters).

I updated the patch to include these too.

a handful... not too many, but it sounds like if my semantic patch were
to be improved,
there might be a few more.

Thanks so much for the great explanation being patient with a kernel
newbie :)
