Subject: Re: [PATCH v3] eeprom: at24: fix memory corruption race condition

How do you think about to increase the version number for your attempt in the patch subject?

Please present the introduction for failure conditions as an enumeration.


> Move the failure point before registering the nvmem device.
…

I would interpret the diff data more in the way that a devm_nvmem_register() call
should be performed a bit later in the implementation of the function “at24_probe”.
How do you think about to mention the affected function also in the summary phrase?


> Changed sha length to 12 in description

A specification was adjusted for a tag.
Please add a version identifier here.
Will version descriptions be extended another bit?

I suggest to use blank line instead of a duplicate marker line.
