Yeah, sure. I think you're just getting a bit confused by conflicting
responses from different people. Some of the things I said on whatever
the original patch I replied to apply everywhere - like using your real
name or adding changelogs.
However, different subsystem maintainers have a different opinions about
how patches for their subsystem should look. I would imagine that it was
Guenter Roeck that asked you to use the "subsystem: (driver) action"
subject, which is how hwmon patches are done - but not other subsystems.

What Stephen is asking, is that you run
$ git log --oneline -3 -- drivers/clk/tegra/clk-tegra30.c
to figure out what the subject should be, based on previous subjects.
That's good advice to follow for any patch you send :)

This other comment was:
> Don't think we need two patches for essentially the same thing.

I assume you sent two different patches for the same driver, or the
same directory of drivers?
He's just asking that you squash the two commits together into one
commit.

From your other email:
> Sorry, what do you mean same subject line comment?
> I add a [PATCH v2] tag when I use 'git format-patch -v 2'.

I assume Stephen meant: the same comments about "(clk-tegra30)"
from this patch apply to that patch too. There's nothing wrong
with having "[PATCH v2]".

Ohh don't worry, we have all been there (and in my case not too
long ago either...)

Hope that helps!
Thanks,
Conor.
