Hi,
I am in the process of carefully incorporating your feedback and making the
necessary revisions.
May I kindly ask you a question, if it's not too much trouble? When running checkpatch, what would be the best way to address the following
warning?
WARNING: Prefer a maximum 75 chars per line (possible unwrapped commit description?) #21: create mode 100644 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/sound/irondevice,sma1307.yaml
In this case, would it be better for me to add a line break in the patch
file, or should I leave it as is?
Normally I would say you can ignore this, and that checkpatch doesn't usually complain about the actually git output in here - but I think checkpatch "broke" because you did not provide any commit message body at all, so it starting parsing the git output instead. You need to write a body!
WARNING: added, moved or deleted file(s), does MAINTAINERS need updating? #65: new file mode 100644
If the warning is appearing because it's a new file, is it something that
can be safely ignored, or should I make changes to the MAINTAINERS file?
Thank you for your feedback. I am learning a lot of new things!
Usually for bindings, which have maintainers listed in them, you can skip adding a MAINTAINERS entry.
Cheers, Conor.
Thank you for your answer! I'll make sure to add a commit message next time.
I'll go over and fix the erros again.
