When all other things are equal, is the priority

1) making the patch as clear as possible?
2) making the resulting code as clear as possible?

On a related note, I remember spotting a problem in a phy driver
commit, and was told (by you) that I should split my fix in 3 (!!)
patches. I'm sorry, but that's a double standard, why would the
initial committer be given the leeway to post a single patch,
but someone willing to clean up his mess should work harder?

End result: I left the bug in there.

Regards.
