Subject: Re: [PATCH] net: wireless: rtlwifi: btcoexist: halbtc8821a2ant:
 Remove some unused functions

Hi All

Yes I use sed as Julian said. I have it as part of my git send-email
script, until a few week ago, it was enough that I removed the
"drivers/" and changed all "/" to ": "
I have now been expanded my sed pipe a lot (tell me if anyone is interested).
But a real script to do this would have been very good I think!

It may be, there was some mail problems during the holiday season :-(
There is not a total consensus on how patcher will was designed.
I have previously received complaints that I made for large patches of
too many files.
Have since tried to make small patches, and it also fit better to have
more specific paths in the subject line.

But I'll try to gather all in one patchset instead this weekend.


Kind regards
Rickard Strandqvist
