Subject: Re: [PATCH v3] drm/nouveau: fix null pointer dereference in
nouveau_connector_get_modes
Ma Ke - I assume you already know but you can just ignore this message
from Markus as it is just spam. Sorry about the trouble!
Markus, you've already been asked by Greg so I will ask a bit more
sternly in case there is actually a person on the other end: you've
already been asked to stop by Greg and are being ignored by multiple
kernel maintainers. If I keep seeing messages like this from you I will
assume you are a bot and I will block your email from both DRI related
mailing lists (nouveau and dri-devel) accordingly. You've done this 3
times now.
(...I doubt I'll get a response from Markus, but I certainly want to
make sure they are a bot and not an actual person before removing them
:)
