An unnecessary "__ref" annotation was removed from the
"drivers/pci/xen_pcifront.c" file. The function where the annotation
was used was "pcifront_backend_changed()", which does not call any
functions annotated as "__*init" nor "__*exit". This makes "__ref"
unnecessary since this annotation is used to make the compiler ignore
section miss-matches when they are not happening here in the first
place.

In addition to the aforementioned change, some code style issues were
fixed in the same file.

One of the Xen folks may apply this, and they may not be as nit-picky
as I am :)

If I were to apply this, I would suggest:

  - Write subject line and commit message in imperative mood.  This is
    a really good guide to this and other commit message this:
    https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/

    For example, in the subject, say "Remove" (not "Removed").  Same
    in the body.  In the body, I would mention the function but not
    the filename since that's obvious from the diff.

  - Split the __ref change into a separate patch from the style
    changes.  The __ref removal should come first and be the absolute
    minimal patch.  That makes it much easier to review, backport, and
    revert if necessary.  And, if the maintainer isn't wild about
    style patches, it's trivial to just ignore that patch.

    Commit logs that say "Also, ..." or "In addition, ..." are always
    red flags to me because they usually indicate the patch could be
    split into two or more simpler patches.

  - When reviewing changes like this, I assume __ref was added in the
    first place for some good reason, so I want to know why, and I
    want to know when that reason changed.  So I would look for the
    commit that *introduced* __ref and for the commit that removed the
    need for it.  It would save me time if the log said something
    like:

      956a9202cd12 ("xen-pcifront: Xen PCI frontend driver.") added
      __initrefok because pcifront_backend_changed() called
      pcifront_try_connect() and pcifront_attach_devices(), which were
      both __devinit.

      The __devinit annotations were removed by 15856ad50bf5 ("PCI:
      Remove __dev* markings"), which made __initrefok unnecessary.

      Finally, bd721ea73e1f ("treewide: replace obsolete _refok by
      __ref") replaced __initrefok with __ref.

    That might be too much for a commit log, but it shows that you've
    done your homework and makes it easier to review (and helps people
    make similar fixes elsewhere).  If it *is* too much, it's trivial
    for a maintainer to cut it out.

Thanks again for you answers!
I am lerning a lot from your replys and I really appreciate it. Should I
make a v3 patch and split that one into 2 different patches or would it
be confusing?

I don't want to take more of your time with poor patches so I don't know
if I should resend this one.

Thanks again,
Sergio M. Iglesias.

If it's already applied, it doesn't matter for this case.  But in this
situation I would generally post a v3 incorporating the feedback.  To
be respectful of reviewers' time, try to avoid posting more than one
or two revisions per week.  As long as you tag reposts appropriately
with v2, v3, etc (as you did), there's no confusion.

It's nice if you include a note about what changed between v1 and v2
in the cover letter or below the "---" line as was done here:

  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/8f9a13ac-8ab1-15ac-06cb-c131b488a36f@siemens.com/

Never mind, it got accepted anyways, but I will 100% fix my commit
messages for my future patches.

I really appreciate your suggestions and the time you have put into
writing them. I will improve in my next commits :)

Sergio M. Iglesias.
