The patch titled
Subject: checkpatch: rename variables to avoid confusion
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
checkpatch-rename-variables-to-avoid-confusion.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Jean Delvare <[email protected]>
Subject: checkpatch: rename variables to avoid confusion

The variable name "$msg_type" is sometimes used to set the message type, and sometimes used to set the message level. This works but is kind of confusing. Use "$msg_level" in the latter case instead, to make the code clearer.
