Subject: RE: [PATCH 2/2] cpufreq: qoriq: rename the driver

Hello Viresh,

When I use -C -M options, checkpatch reports error:

[tangyt@...an linux-pm]$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl 0002-cpufreq-qoriq-rename-the-driver.patch 
WARNING: added, moved or deleted file(s), does MAINTAINERS need updating?
#15: 
 drivers/cpufreq/{ppc-corenet-cpufreq.c => qoriq-cpufreq.c} | 0

ERROR: Does not appear to be a unified-diff format patch

total: 1 errors, 1 warnings, 0 lines checked

0002-cpufreq-qoriq-rename-the-driver.patch has style problems, please review.

I just rename it and do not change anyting. Isn't that allowed?

Thanks,
Yuantian
