3.16.75-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
This doesn't look necessary.
It allows the next patch to apply cleanly.
Perhaps when you pick patches that are unnecessary for any other reason but to allow easier picking of actual fixes, the nominal unnecessary patches could be marked as necessary for follow-on patches.
I have been doing that lately, but just forgot to do so for this patch.
Also, when you send these patch series, please use an email delay of at least 1 second between each entry in the series as the threading is otherwise poor in various email clients when sorting by time.
The dates are actually generated before I send them, but I can probably arrange to override them. Thanks for the suggestion.
Ben.
