[ CCing Rafael as he asked in another thread if I had sent a patch ]

I noticed also some these "strange" chars in the patch from Andrew and
a patch of mine was sent as
"fb-Rework-locking-to-fix-lock-ordering-on-takeover-fix-comments.patch"
to the lists.

It is strange to me that Andrew or other maintainers himself did not
check with "checkpatch.pl".
This should be a common testcase!
Hey, noone is perfect :-).
( /me has also not checked with that script - I just saw it. )

Just as a note to the issue in general:
Andrew took over the patch from Alan which is very honest - he is not
the active TTY maintainer!
Didn't Greg takeover maintenance from Alan (after a dispute and blaming Alan)?
If this is true, why the hell is Greg not CCed?

Thanks for the real patch in the followup of this thread!
Who will take care of it :-)?
