Subject: Re: [PATCH trivial] UAPI: Kbuild: add/modify comments for "uapi/Kbuild"
 and "uapi/linux/Kbuild"

Hello Maintainers:

Maybe... I still miss some important mail addresses? or this patch is
not suitable for applying?

Hmm... but I still want to try the last time: "please help check this
patch, when you have time".

And next, I should not send additional tracing mail again, that will be
really spam.


Thanks.
