docs: netdev: clarify the need to sending reverts as patches
We don't state explicitly that reverts need to be submitted as a patch. It occasionally comes up.

|
|||
|
||||
Occasionally a patch series gets applied before receiving critical feedback,
|
||||
or the wrong version of a series gets applied.
|
||||
There is no revert possible, once it is pushed out, it stays like that.
|
||||
|
||||
Making the patch disappear once it is pushed out is not possible, the commit
|
||||
history in netdev trees is immutable.
|
||||
Please send incremental versions on top of what has been merged in order to fix
|
||||
the patches the way they would look like if your latest patch series was to be
|
||||
merged.
|
||||
|
||||
In cases where full revert is needed the revert has to be submitted
|
||||
as a patch to the list with a commit message explaining the technical
|
||||
problems with the reverted commit. Reverts should be used as a last resort,
|
||||
when original change is completely wrong; incremental fixes are preferred.
