Date: Fri Apr 18 2025 - 11:42:36 EST


Changes in v5:
- Splitted patch v4 into a patchset with two patches so as to
proper explanation of each change due to different code patterns
in the change as suggested by Julia Lawall.
- Modified commit messages in each patch to properly explain the changes
show the initial NULL tests on the value.
- Added Subject title to each patch to be specific to the value being NULL tested.
Changed in v4:
- Separated initially integrated suggested change
"use modulo % 4096 over & 0xfff" to a different patch.
Changes in v3:
- Changed other cases to use modulo (% 4096) over (& 0xofff).
- Modified commit message to reflect these changes.
Changes in v2:
- Dropped patch files for media drivers from patchset as it is
not meant for outreachy applicants.
- Added full-stop aign to text in commit message.
- Made code more readable by adding a line break.
- Changed cases to use modulo (% 4096) over (& 0xfff).
Changes in v1
- Patch for drivers/staging/media/av7110/sp8870.c and
- drivers/staging/media/atomisp/pci/atomisp_gmin_platform.c

driver maintainers.
- Added subject title for each of the separated patches.
- Patch 1: Removed unnecessary curly braces {} initially inserted.
