Well, "no functional changes" is not quite the same thing as "no object code changes".

yeah, true, but the safest way to ensure no functional changes is to get identical object code. In sched-devel.git i include obj comparisons to cleanup patches as a self-assurance (and later bughunt helper) to make sure a cleanup is really just a cleanup.

Of course. "No object code changes" is a stronger statement, however, not all types of cleanups result in that.

Which is the case here. I wasn't expecting the same object code. Anyway, the mistake is explained, and I'm about to send the correct version. Sorry again.
