  succeeded?

How do you think about to add any tags (like “Fixes” and “Cc”) accordingly?
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst?h=v6.16-rc7#n145

Would the summary phrase “Delete an inappropriate dma_free_coherent() call
in altr_sdr_mc_err_inject_write()” be more appropriate?
