Hmm, this is pretty weird, as I actually did see this checkpatch error, then I should have manually fixed the --author of your commit after queued, as it was indeed mangled in the original patch: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240910054138.1458555-1...@weilnetz.de/ However it doesn't seem like working.. I checked again, that checkpatch uses --no-mailmap so it still shows the mangled email.. I fixed it again locally, then the error is gone. Sorry, I don't know what happened, and why I used to fix it the same way (that is, "git commit --author "XXX" --amend) but it didn't work last time (but I guess .mailmap made it harder for me to recognize..). It seems that we already have this: commit 5204b499a6cae4dfd9fe762d5e6e82224892383b Author: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <phi...@linaro.org> Date: Thu Dec 8 16:55:35 2022 +0100 mailmap: Fix Stefan Weil author email So I assume even if Peter applies this PR it'll still show correct. However if you (or Peter, any of you) prefer me to resend a pull, I can do that too. Let me know. Thanks, -- Peter Xu
