> Hello,
>  I have realised there was an error in the commit message subject and body for this patch. I had put "Staging: sm750fb: Rename displayControlAdjust_SM750E" instead of "Staging: sm750fb: Rename displayControlAdjust_SM750LE".I had forgotten the L in SM750LE. I have modified the commit message using git commit --amend to correct the mistake. I have seen the patch has been accepted, however, I am not sure whether the change in the commit message will reflect once the patch is merged. Please guide on what to do next. I am really sorry for the inconvenience.

There is no connection between the change you made on your machine, and
the ones on mine which get pushed to kernel.org.  So if you need a
change, you need to send a new patch.

For a typo fix like this, don't worry about it, it's already in my tree
and is not worth dropping it, so it's all ok.

thanks,
