If you spend 20 seconds reding what I quouted above you will find
bugs already.

1) No proper attribution
2) No proper description of the purpose of the patch

And considering the history of your formar patches
3) No documentation on how the patch was verified


There is no need to read the code with so many bugs in the changelog already.
