Hi Markus,

I really wanted to keep out of this, but...

You're "concerned" about patch granularity, but this is not the sort
of thing that some random person would raise, this is the sort of
thing a maintainer asks for when patches are doing too many things or
are unreviewable. This is neither. It is a very simple cleanup of a
probe function as it says in the patch subject.

Futhermore, this already has an ack from the maintainer of this file.
This indicates that they're happy with it and no significant changes
are required. This is also version 6 of the patch, if the maintainer
was concerned about this, they'd have already provided some clear
guidance on this. If you check previous versions of this patch, no
such requests have been made.

Your only other "concern" had already been addressed as has already
been pointed out to you.

The email and patch structure are following the format outlined in the
document you link to _exactly_.

Once again your comments are just noise, and your insistence on
repeating them over and over and over and over and over again is
borderline harassment.

You have been told to stop this nonsense many many times, here's a
link to the most recent one:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/92d1a410788c54facedec033474046dda6a1a2cc.camel@sipsolutions.net/

Please stop sending these emails and go do something constructive with
your life.

Bence Csókás, (I hope I've got the order of your names correct)

Please block or ignore Markus, at best he's a nuisance and at worst a troll.

Thanks,
