Subject: Re: [PATCH linux-next v8 RESEND] Docs/zh_CN: Translate
 physical_memory.rst to Simplified Chinese

OK, I have applied this patch.  A couple of comments for future reference:

Our documentation requests that patch changelogs be phrased in the
imperative tense and avoid terms like "this patch".  Some maintainers
are quite insistent about that; I'm not one of them, but it is better to
follow that guidance.

This is not helpful in a changelog; if you have not paid such attention,
you should not be submitting the patch in the first place.  Comments
like this can go after the "---" line if you really need to include
them. 

> Update to commit 7332f9e45d2e("docs/mm: Physical Memory: Fix grammar")

...and this I don't understand at all; why do you need to reference that
patch here?

Thanks,
