Hallo

this rc1 runs here (pure Intel-box) without errors.
Thanks !

An RPC (I'm thinking about since some month)
======

Wouldn't it be better (and not so much add. work) to sort the
Pseudo-Shortlog towards subsystem/driver ?

something like this:

...
usb: gadget: f_ncm: allow using NCM in SuperSpeed Plus gadgets.
usb: cdns3: gadget: free interrupt after gadget has deleted

    Lorenzo Colitti <lorenzo@...gle.com>
    Peter Chen <peter.chen@....com>
...

Think of searching a bugfix in the shortlog.

With the current layout I need to read/"visual grep" the whole log.

With the new layout I'm able to jump to the "buggy" subsystem/driver and
only need to read that part of the log to get the info if the bug is
fixed or not yet

Well, surely there are other ways to get the info I need, e.g.
search-function of my favorite browser, but ...
