WARNING: SOMEONE RECEIVING THIS HAS BEEN HACKED (was: Re: [PATCH v2 0/4] PXA cpufreq conversion to clock API)

Guys,

Looks like gmail's been hacked (or something). Within 50 minutes of
sending the reply below, I've received at least 10 replies with the
following headers:

In-Reply-To: <20161015203421.GG1041@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
References: <1476561450-28407-1-git-send-email-robert.jarzmik@xxxxxxx> <20161015203421.GG1041@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

from various gmail.com addresses, each and every one containing some kind
of spam. Each reply is from a victim of spam - the replies themselves are
people replying to the spam that they have received. The quoted message
is allegedly from me, and even includes the line:

"On 15 Oct 2016, at 21:34, Russell King - ARM Linux <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
wrote:"

which is the time I sent the original message.

It's either that gmail has been hacked, or one of the mailing lists in
the recipients of this message has been hacked.
