My previous comment "Can you update the commit log?"
meant, "Can you rewrite the commit log (in a more concise way)?".



I am not sure the Nouveau example is needed here, but
more important information is that
ecca4fea1ede4 changed the .mod file
from "all entries at the first line" to "one entry per line".

I am not sure if this is needed, but at least, the command line is wrong.

scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py/gen_compile_commands.py .
    -->
scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py .

I am not sure if the second sentence is needed
because this patch is just an obvious fix.



Sorry, I missed to adjust this file in ecca4fea1ede4,
and ended up bothering you too much.

Please do not remove the blank line.


This file consistently keeps two lines between functions,
as suggested by PEP8.  [1]
