This was applied twice to riscv/for-next, in commits 7bce18b7c0835686
and a74483879d1d4769 ("riscv: replace select with dependency for
visible RELOCATABLE").  Apparently, the second commit is empty.

I noticed because it broke my workflow: I use "git cherry -v
linux-next/master master" to check which of my patches were accepted
in linux-next.  Thanks to your empty commit, all my empty separator
commits are now flagged as present in linux-next...

Thanks for fixing! ;-)

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
