While apparently harmless, it suggests to me that you had intended to fold in an entirely different patch, and "missed". Missed? That patch fixes a lethal bug. I don't find a current maintainer for aic7xxx listed in MAINTAINERS. It's listed in the aic7xxx sources, but the fix in question came to Marcelo via Jens Axboe. Franks a lot, David S.
