Re:I got robbed of my first kernel contribution

You seem to take this very personally for some reason. I have "demanded" nothing...
Anyone is welcome to fork the kernel and commit code of whatever quality they want.
However, if they want their code included in the official kernel, then they need to follow that projects coding standards. They are not entitled to get their poorly written code merged to satisfy their ego.
Sure, a "suggested-by" tag would have been appropriate, but I would posit that after this public tantrum, getting assistance becoming official kernel contributor will be a bit harder. Who wants to donate their time and energy to someone who may twist their words to start unnecessary public drama as soon as they feel a little slighted?
Wow, way to turn this around. The user had fixed their issue. Don't make it like "other people" "helped them solve it".
The user and his company were quite capable of compiling their own kernel and using that. They solved their own problem, with no help from others.
They then chose to disseminate it for the greater good.
And yet people like you are demanding that they show gratitude to the community for somehow deigning to help them.
