Re: [PATCH 1/3] Staging: ks7010: ks_*: Use preferred 'u8' kernel type over 'uint8_t'

From: Shiva Kerdel
Date: Tue Mar 14 2017 - 11:13:50 EST

Hello Tobin,

I missed the other files because they did not show up using the checkpatch script.
Next time I will do a recursive search through the files before committing the changes to avoid this situation.

Before I could replay on your message, I got notified of my patches already been merged.
However, I am willing to check the other files if you like when I get home and change them too if it's not already done yet.

Finally it's hard to be descriptive about such changes since the title is very self explaining to me, but
I will try more informative about changes in the future.

Thanks,
S. Kerdel

Why did you only do these three files? uint8_t appears in other files
in ks7010/ also. Perhaps you could do all the files in one patch.

If you like you could do a patch set changing all the standard types
to kernel types. i.e one patch per type (uint8_t, uint16_t ...).

I have a patch set in flight that includes these type changes with
review asking me to do exactly this. However, if you would like to do
it I will remove the type changes from my patch set and wait until yours is applied before
re-submitting.

Please let me know if you intend to do this.

Oh, and if you really want cudos you could add a bit more detail to
your git log, for example

Checkpatch emits warning ...

Change standard type uint8_t to kernel type u8.

Well done and good luck.

thanks,
Tobin.
