[PATCH v8 0/2] staging: rtl8723bs: Improve readability and clarity of sequence number wrapping
Posted by Abraham Samuel Adekunle 8 months, 1 week ago
The patchset adds spaces around binary operators, breaks long lines to enhance readability
and 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 v7:
* PATCH 1:
	- Added blank line to enhance readability
* PATCH 2:
	- changed `power of 2` to `power-of-2` in commit message.
Changes in v6:
	- Modified cover letter BLURB to reference newly added line breaks.
* PATCH 1:
	- Added line breaks to long lines to improve readability.
	- Changed commit message to include the information about the broken
	  lines added to the patch.
	- Changed subject line title to also include the newly added line breaks.
* PATCH 2:
	- Changed instances of `& 0xfff` to `% 4096u` which were now in the broken lines
	  after the broken lines have been done in PATCH 1.
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.

You missed my tags I gave in a previous review round.

Oh, I'm sorry I do not know how that works, please.
Am I supposed to add them to the commit message?

Hello Julia.
Thanks for the clarity
