No, a few more issues from SubmittingPatches you need to take care of:

- Use git format-patch -M to show the diff, right now the patch just
  looks like deleting a bunch of files and adding some new ones which is

- Split out the bug fixes from the rename, one change per patch.
- Submit in the format specified in SubmittingPatches, not as an
  attachment.

That's fine but you need to take care of any users.

If you think there's a bug in checkpatch please tell the checkpatch
