Noted and thanks Greg.

A quick question, I just updated my linux-next tree last night,
checkout tag "next-20170210" and working on the cleanup. How do I
double check my current working file already been updated by someone
else to avoid the duplicate work? As of now, the latest linux-next
tree tag is still "next-20170210"

I am on eudyptula challenge and this is my first attempt to send
kernel patch, sorry about the silly question ;)
