It only counts if it's in mainline kernel.

Substantiveness is up to personal judgement, but I will intend to bias toward being lenient about what commits count as substantive. Simple formatting changes will not count.

Officially, the kernel doesn't accept such commits: https://social.kernel.org/notice/AbI3mXs8Hwvj2u9V7Q

So, any such commit would have to be surreptitious, and would probably be reverted if discovered.

This came up in a private thread about a kernel patch review where the contents were created with an "AI" tool, so I figured I might as well put it somewhere a bit more public as people don't seem ...
