Hi Roberto,

The patch description unconditionally says, "this patch modifies the
current IMA behavior to display in the list the template format instead
of the name".  The code only uses the 'fmt', if the name doesn't exist.
Please update the patch description accordingly.

Nothing is wrong with the above syntax, but template_name could be
assigned once using a ternary conditional expression(?:), like:

	template_name = (strlen(e->template_desc->name) == 0) ?
		e->template_desc->name : e->template_desc->fmt;

thanks,

Mimi
