Hi,

This is the friendly patch-bot of Greg Kroah-Hartman.  You have sent him
a patch that has triggered this response.  He used to manually respond
to these common problems, but in order to save his sanity (he kept
writing the same thing over and over, yet to different people), I was
created.  Hopefully you will not take offence and will fix the problem
in your patch and resubmit it so that it can be accepted into the Linux
kernel tree.

You are receiving this message because of the following common error(s)
as indicated below:

- This looks like a new version of a previously submitted patch, but you
  did not list below the --- line any changes from the previous version.
  Please read the section entitled "The canonical patch format" in the
  kernel file, Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst for what
  needs to be done here to properly describe this.

If you wish to discuss this problem further, or you have questions about
how to resolve this issue, please feel free to respond to this email and
Greg will reply once he has dug out from the pending patches received
from other developers.

thanks,

greg k-h's patch email bot

Hi Greg,

I listed the changes below the --- line. Probably I should have added extra
newline, or maybe even another --- line below the changes in order to not
trigger the patch-bot message and make it more readable. Maybe I should also
explicitly use "V1 -> V2" instead of "v2" when listing changes? I am trying
to understand the filtering rules that are in use, in order to avoid this
situation in the future.

I see that in Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst there is an extra
newline after listed changes, would it be enough?

Thanks,

Dominik Karol

Ah, yes, that's why it missed it, sorry.

Either is fine, but it was the blank line that caused this to be
triggered.

Yes.

But before you resend this, you should come up with some more things
other than checkpatch for the TODO file, as that's just the base-minimum
here.  THere are other things that need to be done to get this out of
staging, take some time to look at the code to get an idea of what needs
to be done.
