[PATCH v6 0/2] staging: rtl8723bs: Improve readability and clarity of sequence number wrapping
Posted by Abraham Samuel Adekunle 10 months ago
Tha patchset adds spaces around binary operators and also
provides clarity on sequence number wrapping by using a modulo operation
% 4096u, in place of the bitwise AND(&) operation & 0xfff.
The patches are required to be applied in sequence.

Changes in v5:
	- Converted the patch with the subject "Use % 4096 instead of & 0xfff"
	  patch to a patchset.
	- Added a patch to add spaces around binary operator.
Changes in v4:
	- Corrected patch to use '%' instead of '&'.
	- To ensure this change does not affect the functional
	behaviour, I compared the generated object files before and
	after the change using the `cmp` which compares the two
	object files byte by byte as shown below:

	$ make drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_xmit.o
	$ cmp rtw_xmit_before.o rtw_xmit_after.o

	No differences were found in the output, confirming that the
	change does not alter the compiled output.
Changes in v3:
	- Added more description to the commit message.
	- Removed blank line in the tag block.
	- Added more patch recipients.
Changes in v2:
	- Changed the commit message t a more descriptive message which
	makes it clear why the patch does the change.
	- changed the subject title to include `4096u` to show that an
	unsigned module is used.
Changes in v1:
	- Added more patch recipients.

This is v6. Are there any changes in comparison to v5?

I added a cover letter and named it v6 to show it's a continuation
from v5 and to show I added a
new patch for spaces.
I was not sure where would be best to add the change log so I put it
in the cover letter.
But as it concerns the patch for the % operation, there is no change
between v5 and v6

Thanks

Adekunle.

Then it should have

Changes in v6:
- none

which then questions the purpose of v6 :-)

Okay, what should I version the next patchset I will be sending as, and also
how about the change log. Do I write it in the individual patches
rather than the cover letter?

I am a bit confused with that please kindly clarify.
Thanks
