Re: [PATCH 4/5] acpi: fix trivial warning

You've made changes to automatically generated files, so all the style changes
would be overwritten when next time these files are generated -- all the files go through
Lindent, and almost all your changes were introduced by it. If you really want to make
style changes to ACPICA files, try to play with Lindent, so it produce what you want.
If you have anything beside style patches, please submit them separately

Regards,
Alex.

That doesn't seem too positive. Or at least there's no indication that
somebody will pick it up.
I'd re-submit with a better description of the patch. You should always
try to describe what your doing as accurately as possible so the
maintainer doesn't have to work very hard to know what your doing.
There's nothing to add. It's a patch to cleanup the coding style, that's it.

How do you know the coding style isn't correct? Did you just visually
inspect it?

That
particular patch just has a one liner description that wasn't very
informative .. Either that or re-submit your series without that patch
if you don't have confidence in it.
All of my patches have been picked up, except the ones for ACPI. I
haven't received a single comment from them, which would explain the
current state of the code.

If somebody raised the hand and said; I'll merge this, please resend,
I'd do that, otherwise I think it's a waste of time.

Patches often times aren't accepted in the first submission, could be
for lots of reasons. It's your series tho ..
