What's missing is the "why". We can do these or we can keep them as they are. Each choice has impact on .text/.data, for instance. Why is one preferred over the other? Each patch should contain some form of analysis that shows that the author thought about why they made the patch in the first place. And please learn not to spam the STMicro people with patches for System Trace Module. Sometimes the same acronym can mean multiple different things. This is another sign that the patch author spent zero time getting to know the code that they are patching. Regards, -- Alex

mutex lock can be initialized automatically with DEFINE_MUTEX() rather than explicitly calling mutex_init(). list head can be initialized automatically with LIST_HEAD() rather than explicitly calling INIT_LIST_HEAD(). srcu_struct can be initialized automatically with DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU() rather than explicitly calling init_srcu_struct().
