Hello Purnendu.

This is a suboptimal patch description.

There is no generic style asking for a blank line
before a switch statement.

You are actually adding a blank line separating
declarations and code.

Specifying the change as a "checkpatch fix" is
also unnecessary.

A patch subject of

"[PATCH] staging: android: Add blank line after declaration"

with no patch description at all is probably good
enough.
