Correct. While you're at it, can you also fix the comment on line 100:
"r8 = gd->start_addr_sp" -> "sp = gd->start_addr_sp"

Thanks.

Best regards,

PATCH v2 1/1 arm: fix a comment

I sent this mail by operation mistake of "git send-email".

The mail address "y at epochmail.jp.panasonic.com" written in "From:" field of the email is incorrect.

I posted again with the same subject.
The Message-ID of the correct mail is <[email protected]>

Very sorry for noise.

PATCH v2 1/1 arm: fix a comment

Changed for v2:
- Fix one more comment

I added one more comment line fixed at version 2.

So, I am thinking the commit log should become
"arm: fix comments"
rather than
"arm: fix a comment"

Is it better to re-post my patch as version 3
with only commit log changed?
Am I too worried about it??

I'm new here, and I'm not sure this kind of update is mandatory. I will appreciate any advice.

Best Regards
Masahiro Yamada

You should try to read your commit message summary to yourself as if you did not know what the change is about, because that's what it is useful for: giving people a good idea of the change. If the summary tells everything except the actual source code change, that's good.

A summary of "arm: fix comments" indicates two things about the
change: explicitly, that it is about ARM; and implicitly, that it is cosmetic. But it does not say which part of U-Boot it applies to, even though this single file can be mentioned in a summary line. Readers will have to waste some time looking at the change content to find out.

Plus, if it is cosmetic, then the fact that it is about ARM does not matter that much, does it? e.g., someone looking for ARM changes that might explain a weird behavior will most certainly not be interested in this change even though it is ARM. For instance, a cosmetic fix on ARM code could easily go in the mainline tree without going through the ARM tree first. So, I'd put "cosmetic:" first, but admittedly, that's a debatable point.

So... how about a V3 with a commit summary of "cosmetic: arm: fix comments in arch/arm/lib/crt0.S" ? People reading the summary for no particular reason will know all there is to know except the detailed comment fixes; people looking for crt0 changes will see it, and so will people looking for ARM changes, but "cosmetic:" will help them move it aside in their search; "cosmetic:" helps deciding whether to apply the patch and to which tree; etc.
