Re: [PATCH 0/4] Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] staging: octeon: Clean up PHY interfaces and fix race conditions

[Alejandro Lucero]

Hi Greg,

You are completely right, my bad, srry T-T

The code changes are in a big part my own manual work, i've was there
for a while time reading the octeon code in staging, searching a lot
of errors whit the tools I mentioned in another commit but since I was
really nervous about introducing bugs or messing up the logic or
explain bad, I used an AI to double-check the code and write the
descriptions before and after the check (im not really good at
english, im learning it :'c).

I get the gym policy completely now. I will step back, rewrite all the
descriptions by myself if you agree, and re-submit the series later, i
really want to apport.

Thanks for the heads up!

Best regards,
Alejandro Lucero
