Fix checkpatch warning for the fixId array only:
"WARNING: static const char * array should probably be
static const char * const"
The g_fbmode array cannot be made const as it is modified at runtime
in lynxfb_setup() and lynx_alloc().

v4: Sorry for the confusion. Previous versions had wrong line numbers
or included changes to g_fbmode. This version ONLY changes fixId
at the correct line number (734) against current mainline.
v3: Apologies for the confusion. v2 accidentally included changes to
g_fbmode which breaks the build. This version ONLY changes fixId
which is never modified.

Why is this part of the changelog at all? It has no relevance to the change you are making here. And as Dan said, please slow down and relax. There is no rush here at all. Take a few days off, think about what you want to do before resending. thanks, greg k-h

Please stop sending new versions of the patch... At least wait a day between sending new versions. This one was fine already. No one cares about the line numbers. You had put that note about line numbers under the --- cut off line so it's informational only and won't be included in the final git log. Also line numbers are constantly changing so we just ignore it when people tell us they are changing line 123. It's not going to be line 123 on our end so it's not helpful. regards, dan carpenter
