I'm sorry, seriously. It's hard to listen carefully when I need to do my
*real* work while trying my best to contribute to the kernel. Sometimes I'm
so tired that I forget something important or what it is said by reviewers. I
know that this is not a good excuse, anyway please don't ever think that I
don't mind of the time you spend on reviews and writing suggestions.

This is the proof of what I was trying to convey with the words above. I
perfectly knew, since days, that this line is wrong but for some reason that
I really cannot understand why it's still there.

Thank you very much,
