It's just that I thought it was more important to refer to the patch than to my name, developers reading the log will be more interested in the technical details than in my person :-) > >> the video output that VSP2-D sends to DU has a greenish garbage-like > >> line > > > > Why does the text in your patches (commit message, comments, ...) sometime > > have double spaces between words ? > > The text looks more pleasant (at least to me).

I don't think we try to do typesetting in kernel code or commit messages, so I'd stick to single spaces if you don't mind. > >> repeated every 8 or so screen rows. > > > > Is it every "8 or so" rows, or exactly every 8 rows ? > > You really want me to count the pixels?

OK, I agree. > But my task was R8A77970 support only anyway... Sure, and my task is to push you to do more when it makes sense ;-) -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart
