Cover letters are for if you have a series of patches and they follow a
theme.  "Add support for XXX feature in a series of 8 patches".  "What
is in my pull request for the new kernel."  It's just a shorter summary.
This is just one patch not a series.

I have never sent a cover letter in my life.  I don't know who is
complaining to you...

In this case the changelog would have been better and more complete if
all the cover letter information were in the permanent commit log.

Hi

It's a bit confusing with this, I have received a lot of complaints
that I have not had a cover letter.
When should I include it? In an obvious patching. But where there's a
need to explain anything further should have a cover letter.

In this case, I suspected that there is a missed special case, that I
mentioned in the cover letter.
But did my patch that otherwise took away the otherwise unnecessary
code.  Thought it was the right use...?



Kind regards
Rickard Strandqvist
