The revert is completely irrelevant to this change, really. The reference
is just confusing.

See previous mails ....

Let me give you another changelog example:

Subject: acpi/processor: Check for duplicate processor ids at hotplug time

The check for duplicate processor ids happens at boot time based on the
ACPI table contents, but the final sanity checks for a processor happen
at hotplug time.

At hotplug time, where the physical information is available, which might
differ from the ACPI table information, a check for duplicate processor
ids is missing.

Add it to the hotplug checks and rename the function so it better
reflects its purpose.

Hmm?

Please keep the acpi_ prefix. acpi_duplicate_processor_id().

Thanks,

Yes, Maybe I should split them like before.

Yes, thanks again. I learned a lot in that patchset.
