Subject: suspicious ALSA empty commit


While scanning over today's updates in Linus's tree, I noticed
the following commit has no changes, and this does not appear
to be intentional.

Someone should check it out.

commit e31b6656a81d6332cdf6af17d38a0573128a6aac
Author: Krzysztof Helt <krzysztof.h1@...pl>
Date:   Tue Oct 16 14:54:58 2007 +0200

    [ALSA] This simplifies and fixes waiting loops of the mce_down()
    
    function after Trent Piepho's patch for AD1848.
    It also makes busy_wait() function call not atomic.
