Hello Greg, Jiri,
commit eb8cb8d62ff718d2fcf7583da8699ba29196f707 (HEAD -> master)
Author: Sergio Ammirata <sergio@ammirata.net>
Date: Sat Apr 27 22:22:25 2024 -0400
Allow the use of the uart’s CTS (clear to send) signal to trigger the cd_change ldisk event.
This is particularly useful for the PPS ldisk as it is common to use the uart’s CD or CTS indistinguishably for PPS. The userspace apps such as gpsd and chronyd already recognize and use both signals for timing data in userspace and will now be able to use CTS for kernel KPPS to significantly increase the accuracy of the measurement.

Hi,
This is the friendly patch-bot of Greg Kroah-Hartman. You have sent him
a patch that has triggered this response. He used to manually respond
to these common problems, but in order to save his sanity (he kept
writing the same thing over and over, yet to different people), I was
created. Hopefully you will not take offence and will fix the problem
in your patch and resubmit it so that it can be accepted into the Linux
kernel tree.
You are receiving this message because of the following common error(s)
as indicated below:
- Your patch contains warnings and/or errors noticed by the
scripts/checkpatch.pl tool.
- Your patch is malformed (tabs converted to spaces, linewrapped, etc.)
and can not be applied. Please read the file,
Documentation/process/email-clients.rst in order to fix this.
- Your patch does not have a Signed-off-by: line. Please read the
kernel file, Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst and resend
it after adding that line. Note, the line needs to be in the body of
the email, before the patch, not at the bottom of the patch or in the
email signature.
- You did not specify a description of why the patch is needed, or
possibly, any description at all, in the email body. Please read the
section entitled "The canonical patch format" in the kernel file,
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst for what is needed in
order to properly describe the change.
- You did not write a descriptive Subject: for the patch, allowing Greg,
and everyone else, to know what this patch is all about. Please read
the section entitled "The canonical patch format" in the kernel file,
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst for what a proper
Subject: line should look like.
If you wish to discuss this problem further, or you have questions about
how to resolve this issue, please feel free to respond to this email and
Greg will reply once he has dug out from the pending patches received
from other developers.
thanks,
greg k-h's patch email bot
