Considering the fact that the pattern buffer length can't be negative or larger that 4096, I really don't think that it is a necessary change.

Additionally, remove the unused variable 'it' from the reset_ioctl test.


Your patches should always contain only one logical change. If you, for instance, remove redundant blank lines, combining it with something else is fine, but otherwise you should split the changes up.

You don't need this text here. Usually it is the place for changelog between patch versions if we have more than one version of the patch. For instance, if you send a patch V2, it could look like this:

Signed-off-by: ...

V1 -> V2:
- Improve something
- Add something

So, don't repeat the commit message here :)

Anyway, great job! I believe this test could be enhanced in lots of ways, so I look forward to seeing new patches related to it from you :)
