Please work a bit on your Subject lines to make it easier to figure out
where the patches belong.

For this one, it should be:
Subject: staging: tidspridge: fix for possible null pointer dereference in node.c
or:
Subject: staging: tidspridge: node.c: fix for possible null pointer dereference

That way people can figure out _what_ node.c file you are referring to
and to see if they care about it or not :)

thanks,
