Don't send this header. We get everything from the email header.

Your fix is correct, but the changelog is not good. These messages in
Sparse are wrong over 80% of the time. So when I see one in a commit
message I assume it is wrong. Add some more explanation to say why you
removed the spin_unlock.

Also "redundant" means "unnecessary" but sort of implies that it is
harmless. Say something like: "staging: ced401: fix double unlock bug".

Actually, I did attach a file which is output of "git format-patch"
with text mode. So this header was included in my e-mail.
I will remove this header and send patch again. And I don't send this
header again.

You're right. I will add more explanation about this patch.
