Subject: Re: [PATCH v3] mtd:nor:timeout:fix do_write_buffer() timeout error
Hi Bean,
I see that you have sent this several times in a relatively short
period, and I see that there are several comments you haven't addressed
[1] [2].
It is very difficult for me to apply your patch. It seems to be an
invalid patch (I think the line counts are wrong), so it doesn't apply
with git-am. Christian already had this problem in [1]. Can you try
sending mail with git-send-email? It will probably do better than your
current mailer. If you're having any doubt, try sending the patch to
yourself and then applying it with git-am.
Documentation/email-clients.txt also has some tips for email.
Your patch also has several coding style issues, one of which Christian
also noticed, in [2]. (Thanks for reviewing, BTW, Chrisitan!)
Can you fix the subject to follow other patches' style? Like:
mtd: cfi_cmdset_0002: ...
(I can fix one or two patches for these kind of things, but you said you
plan to send several more patches.)

Please line-wrap your commit descriptions. This line is >300 characters

Can you put a space before the brace?

Please put spaces around the shift operator.

The indentation of this entire 'else' block is wrong.

Some of the language here needs improvement, but I can spruce it up once
your patch is ready. Just fix the style up a bit, and make sure the
patch can apply, then I'll take care of the rest. Thanks!
