should i then send a v5 of WIP with proper commit message?
I will mention the WIP history as comments in my formal patch also.
And I guess, formal patch will take some time. After Alan has tested
I need to work on the documentation also.

while working on the code I will be checking with:
git diff | scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict -
so the change in the code is properly checkpatch tested.
and for formal submission of patches I will check again after writing
the commit message. But since this was just a WIP and not a formal
patch submission so I have not checked after writing the comments.

Thanks Jean.
Should i add your Tested-by: to the main patch and the patch
concerning the changes to i2c-parport?
