Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/1] kbuild: Optimize tests and remove shadowed local variable.

Hello David,

My name is Leonardo and I am new to kernel development.

Is this patch acceptable? Do it need some rework? The change makes sense?
Is there a way to better follow the workflow for this patch?

Please let me know if it needs anything.

Best regards,

Leonardo Bras
