Subject: [PATCH v3] staging: wilc1000: Use crc7 in lib/ rather than a private copy

From: George Spelvin <[email protected]>

The code in lib/ is the desired polynomial, and even includes
the 1-bit left shift in the table rather than needing to code
it explicitly.

While I'm in Kconfig, add a description of what a WILC1000 is.
Kconfig questions that require me to look up a data sheet to
find out that I probably don't have one are a pet peeve.

I don't know how this patch made it through two versions without anyone
complaining that this paragraph should be done as a separate patch...

This should have you Signed-off-by. The Reviewed-by is kind of assumed
so you can drop that bit. But everyone who touches a patch needs to
add their signed off by.

The first two version of patches were not submitted to devel@driverdev
mailing list. I too missed the point to keep the Kconfig changes in
separate patch.

I often fold comment (and spacing/formatting) patches in to a main
patch, when touching adjacent code anyway and it doesn't cause
distracting clutter.

This seemed like such a case, which is why I submitted it as one.
But it's a bit of style thing.

Er... all he did was add "staging: " to the front of the title.

That's not a change to the code at all, and as trivial a change
to the commit message as adding "Reviewed-by:" to the end.
We don't need S-o-b for such things or we'd end up in a horrible
infinite recursion.

You've misunderstood. He sent the email so he has to add his
Signed-off-by. It's not at all related to changing anything in the
patch. That's how sign offs work.

Looking at my commits (just because I remember how they went in),
you seem to be right, but damn, submitting-patches.rst could be
clearer on the subject.

I understand that it's addressed more to patch authors than
maintainers forwarding them, but I've read that thing a dozen times,
and the description of S-o-b always seemed to be about copyright.

So I had assumed that edits which were below the de minimus standard
of copyright didn't need a separate S-o-b.

Am I right that there should be an S-o-b from everyone from the
patch author to the patch committer (as recorded in git)? And the
one exception is that we don't need S-o-b for git pulls after that,
because the merge commits record the information?

For example, my patch series ending at 4684fe95300c (v4.7-rc1~8^2)
only has my S-o-b because it was pulled straight from my git server
and merge 7e0fb73c52c4 (v4.7-rc1~8) records who merged it.

But b5c56e0cdd62 has an S-o-b from both akpm and Linus because
it went to akpm, into his quilt, and then as a patch series to Linus,
who committed it.

All of which is eactly why git-am has a -s option.

That's not a hard rule to understand, but I wish submitting-patches
*said* so somewhere, rather than having it be implied by the
existence of option (c) in the DCO and the fact that it's *doesn't*
say that someone else's S-o-b will suffice.

And the git merge exception should be stated, because otherwise it's
not clear what the limits of that exception are. I had assumed that
accumulating and forwarding patches in general was okay without a
S-o-b.

So thank you for enlightening me, and if you can confirm the rules,
I'll prepare a Documentation/ patch to reduce re-occurrence.

Yes, everyone either modifying or distributing (=submitting) the patch
should add their s-o-b.

> And the one exception is that we don't need S-o-b for git pulls after

Correct. When you do a git pull you are pulling the commits without any
modification, so technically it's not even possible to add the s-o-b
lines to the commits you are pulling. Modifying the commit logs would
need a rebase and then it not would be a normal git pull anymore.

It's to say that you didn't add anything which you shouldn't have, for
example, secret SCO UnixWare stuff.

Yes. Also if people added their S-o-b for git merges it would change
the git hash for the patch which would suck.

Yes, I'm familiar with the (irritating) history. Which is why I
had the idea stuck in my head that that it was all about copyright
and if you didn't add anything copyrightable, an S-o-b wasn't
required. No more than I'd ask for one from the administrator
of the e-mail system which delivered it.

submitting-patches.rst says "sign your work". It didn't occur to
me to sign something that wasn't my work.

I understand the technical difficulties, but lawyers aren't always
deterred by such things. :-) Seriously, it's clear there has to
be an exception; the question was about the scope of the exception.

Thank you for your patience clarifying this stuff for the nth time.
