Progyan,

Please try to be respectful of reviewers' time by

  a) running scripts/checkpatch.pl and closely reviewing your patch
     before sending;

  b) not sending multiple revisions in a single day;

  c) when sending a new revision, add the version number in the subject
     line and clarify what has changed.


I'd also recommend reviewing the following resources:
