Okay, understand (about formatting of subject, RESEND noise and no
cover letter for single patches). Just never send reverts before
(especially when it's re-send from 2012 year).
It's easy to see comment in patch with subject: [PATCH RESEND 1/1]
Revert "spi/doc: spi_master_put must be followed up by kfree"
It's in drivers/spi/spi.c, line 1440 in tag v4.2 released ~ 5 days
ago. Comment for function spi_alloc_master().

Sorry. Right now I see how I screwed up. Should I re-send it as single
patch with all info included (marking as RESEND)?
