Hi Khalid.

Looks better now - thanks.

A few nits remaining.
Please fix and submit a v3 - then we will see if David approves.

Please use one space between "*" and "text" - not a tab.
This is how it is done in the rest of the sparc code.

Personally I would add an empty line before the return.
But this is not something mandatory.

Likewise regarning empty line.
