Please fix up your subject line to contain the subsystem and driver it
is modifying.  For example, this message should read:
	Subject: staging: speakup: return same error value from spk_set_key_info

Same thing goes for all 3 messages in this series.

Please fix up, keep the Ack, and resend.

thanks,
