A difficult part of automating commits is composing the subsystem preamble in the commit log. For the ongoing effort of a fixer producing one or two fixes a release the use of 'treewide:' does not seem appropriate.
It would be better if the normal prefix was used. Unfortunately normal is not consistent across the tree.
So I am looking for comments for adding a new tag to the MAINTAINERS file
D: Commit subsystem prefix
ex/ for FPGA DFL DRIVERS
D: fpga: dfl:
I'm all for it. Good luck with the effort. It's not completely trivial.
From a decade ago:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1289919077.28741.50.camel@Joe-Laptop/
(and that thread started with extra semicolon patches too)
Reading the history, how about this.
get_mataintainer.pl outputs a single prefix, if multiple files have the same prefix it works, if they don't its an error.
Another script 'commit_one_file.sh' does the call to get_mainainter.pl to get the prefix and be called by run-clang-tools.py to get the fixer specific message.
Defer minimizing the commits by combining similar subsystems till later.
In a steady state case, this should be uncommon.
Continuing with cleaning up clang's -Wextra-semi-stmt diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile

A pity the ordering of the code below isn't the same as the above.
Taken care thanks!
