Looks good, but needs a bit of help.  The function name needs to be spelled
correctly in the commit log (missing an "s"), and please see below.

Please fix these issues and resend the patch.

Long strings are an exception to the 80-character rule.  This string
needs to be on one line.  The scripts/checkpatch.pl script should have yelled
at you about this.
