Hi all,
don't get me wrong, I think style fixes are a good thing and appreciate that people take the time for it. However, if we do massive changes to comply with a tool like checkpatch.pl, we should make sure that single commits either change style only, or really fix something which should then be mentioned in the commit message.
With many changes in one commit, the former is hard to review but can be verified by reproducibility of the binaries beyond the patch. We have an option to exclude commit information in the resulting image: `make BUILD_TIMELESS=1 what-jenkins-does` should do the trick.
Can we set up a Jenkins job for that? either manually triggered to help the reviewer or maybe even automatically by a tag like `BUILD=binary- stable`?.
Regards, Nico
